Circular reference

Hi. I have a need to make two cells reference each other. ie the formula of A1 is "=B1" and the formula of B1 is "=A1". I want this so that my user can enter a number in either of these cells and it will then populate the other cell.

Excel errors when I open this files saying "Excel cannot calculate a formula. Cell references in the formula refer to the formula's result. etc etc"

I think I can resolve this by clicking the iterations box in the "Tools, Options, calculations" box but this sets the paramaters for the whole of excel not just this spread sheet. Any advise would be appreciated.
