I have a conditional format (fill on a range of 9 cells) that only works when
I leave the page and return again. It works as intended with this manual
kick, so to speak, but can I set something to make this work without the
kludge? I updated the graphics driver. Any help would be appreciated!

I've experienced this a couple of times in the past. Not recently, though.

Here's a reply I got from Dave Peterson:

Biff,
Sorry about the double post, I lost the first one and it still does not come
up in a "Conditional Formatting" search. Had to find it from "recent posts by
author". Back to the issue...

I tried high, medium, and low settings on the video accelerator, which did
not work. Might the refresh problem be from using form buttons, Format
Control Cell Link, to change the condition? If so, is there a workaround?

Sorry, I don't have any other suggestions.
