Hi,

I have a slightly random question; I do various things in workbooks (outside of work) using Solver, as does a friend, and occasionally we get slightly different figures out of essentially the same problem with the same sets of formulas (essentially identical workbooks in some cases) where we have used Solver to minimise a cell given the same set of variables. He has a newer version of Excel than me (I use 2004 for Mac) so therefore I'm thinking that there are slightly different options for Solver or the Solver algorithm works in a different way for later versions of Excel (hence the reason why we get different results)? Does anyone know if this is the case (as I can't figure any other obvious reasons especially when the odd workbook has been identical or shared).

Thanks in advance,
