[mso] Problem with "find and replace" option in Excel

I am having a problem with the "find & replace" option.  I've used it many 
times before with no problems, but this time it does not change.  This is a 
spreadsheet we have used for years.  Each month we create a new tab and use the 
"find and replace" option to pull the prior month data into the current month 
for comparison.
 
I usually do a find and replace - find next for a highlighted area.  When I do 
this, no change is made.  If I try to do a find and replace all, it brings up a 
update dialogue box with no file name.  To get rid of the dialogue box, I have 
to hit cancel repeatedly until it goes away.  In this instance, when it finally 
goes away, there are REF errors in the cells.  But, if I go and put a direct 
reference to the cell, the value comes in fine.
Thanks in advance for your help.
 
Peggy
