    Stop cell entry from changing case?

    Hi all,

    I have lots of spurious code in my spreadsheet, all based around a few Userforms. But nowhere in my code does it state that one particular worksheet should turn a cell entry into uppercase after update.

    Yet when I type into a text cell - say I enter false, when I press [ENTER] it turns into FALSE

    I think this is stuffing up my top row COUNTIF calculations, yet Column B works fine!

    Offending spreadsheet attached!

    thanks in anticipation!

    FALSE is a reserved word, Excel automatically turns "false" into "FALSE".

    Create a new sheet.
    Type false (lowercase) into A1.
    Result is FALSE

    If you abcd (lowercase) into a cell on your worksheet it stays at abcd

    Ensure you describe your problem clearly, I have little time available to solve these problems and do not appreciate numerous changes to them.
