Why is MS Excel acting up?

At work, we use Microsoft Excel spreadsheets to track our price lists. We have three price lists connected to a main list. When something is modified in the main list, it does not always update the other lists, but sometimes it does. All of the formulas appear to be correct. Does anybody know what the problem may be?

    Are these separate workbooks? Or, separate worksheets in the same workbook? If they are separate workbooks, Any dependent workbook not open when the main workbook is modified will not be updated. Do you have a macro to make sure they are all open when the main workbook is opened?

    would really need a bit more information, such as the formulas of the cells which arn't updating etc

    there is a setting which prevent the sheet from automatically updating, requiring you to tell it when to update, but i doubt that is the answer as you say it works sometimes.

    wish i could be more help, but i dont have enough info.
