Using Excel 2003, and having a problems using formulas and then copying those
formulas and using auto fill. This is so frustrating. It would be helpful is
someone could review the worksheet to see what I am doing wrong. I don't know
how to attach the worksheet to this question.

Post the formula and what you did expect and what you got. You cannot attach
files to a
nonbinary newsgroup and even if you could it is frowned upon and would
probably lessen your chance of getting an answer.
I'll take a shot, if you are copying formulas and they stay the same for
each row repeating the first cell's formula then you go to
tools>options>calculation and set it to automatic
If you want one cell to stay fixed and the other cell(s) to increase for
each row copied then you add a dollar sign like this
$A$1
will always point to A1 when copied down/across

You could mail it to me: joeu2004 "at" hotmail.com . If it's not
complicated, I would be happy to take look at it.
But before you resort to that, consider this WAG: check whether you
are using absolute and relative references correctly for your
application.
Be sure to use references of the form $A$1 when you want all the
formulas to refer to that cell. Be sure to use references of the form
$A1 and A$1 when it makes sense for copying formulas down a row or
across columns. And of course, be sure to use references of the form
A1 when you want the cell to track row and column changes during copy
operations.
HTH. If not, feel free to mail the spreadsheet to me for look-see.
