  1. I've just had 3 people in our office where Auto-Calc somehow got turned off for them. I'm trying to figure out if there is some virus or malicious code causing this. Has anyone ever heard of anything like this?

  2. Hello doldrums,

    I'm not sure is that caused by a virus. If that persons has a macro documents, it's may effect some setting.

    Find out under XLSTART folder, delete it if you found any files under this folder.
