    Returning the contents of a specific cell

    Hi,

    I am using 'Sheet 1' of a workbook and would like to return the value in cell 'C3' from 'Sheet 2'.

    Every time I add a line in 'Sheet 2' the formula in 'Sheet 1' auto corrects itself so that it now returns the value in cell 'C4' rather than 'C3'

    Does anyone know how how to stop this happening so that it always return the value in cell 'C3' regardless of what changes have happened on that workbook.

    Much appreciated.

    Af

    HI
    use "$" on both sides $C$3 on both side for absolute reference
