macros

My excel macros are no longer working as designed.

Last week they worked as expected, this week a different result. I even tried a two year old version, it did not work the way it used to.

Guy's conclusion an Office / Excel update changed the macro behaviour. Am I alone in this conclusion? If so I'll take a different troubleshooting approach.
