    Usually when linking to another workbook, you start typing the

    However, I have a PC at work which has started to behave differently.
    When you start to type a formula, and then click into another
    workbook, the editing disappears as if you had simply switched to a different workbook. When you go back to the original workbook, the
    cursor is still in the formula bar, but no reference to the other
    workbook.

    Does anyone have a clue what is going on, and how to cure it?

    Thanks!
    Sometime it will happen like this. To get rid of this issue close
    both the excel files and open the files one after another and try.
    Now it will work fine.

    Just closing and opening the files as you suggested worked for me; many thanks!
