Hello,
i have created a automation addin in excel that uses udf; we have a typical problem; if we created a worksheet in excel 2007 with our udf and opened in excel 2003; on opening the udf are prefixed with progid; when we refresh the worksheet to calculate it returns the value as #NAME; it is not happening for all the worksheets saved in 2007; there is one particular sheet that gives this problem and intermittently(rarely we have seeen with other sheets saved in 2007)
Excel 2007 version was 12.0.6514.5000 SP2 MSO(12.0.6425.1000)

Note: when i rename the worksheets saved in 2007 as zip file for example "a.xlsx" to "a.zip" and open the sheet1.xml (content of the zip file) i could see the formulas are prefixed with _xll; where as in the case of the problematic sheet prefix is missing
