Cancel=True not working on one worksheet in a workbook

I have a workbook with multiple worksheets (Jan - Feb), each with a load of data. Each sheet is set up to change colors (among other things) if a cell is double-clicked and each private sub ends with cancel=true. On one of the sheets (Feb), it just doesn't work (although it HAS worked on that sheet until recently...no relevant changes have been made). All the other sheets function properly and do not go into the cells edit mode when double-clicked. February goes into edit mode every time. The code is the same for each sheet.

Any ideas why this is happening?

Copy a format multiple times
Select a formatted range. Double-click the Format Painter (left side of Home tab). You can paste formatting multiple times. Esc to stop
Just discovered if I copy the sheet into a new workbook, it works as it should. This one has me scratching my head.

Have you tried putting a breakpoint on the Cancel = True line to see if it's actually getting executed and/or stepping through the code?

No. I'll try that but like I said, it almost has to be something corrupted. It works on every other sheet and they're identical and it had been working on this one. I've been getting Out of Memory errors and other weird things happening that I've never seen before. Maybe it's the Russians...

It could be corruption but there's a lot going on in that code, including the code in the BeforeDoubleClick event triggering the Change event, so debugging like I suggested might shine some light on things.

You might want to consider temporarily 'disabling' the error handling by commenting out the On Error... stuff.

Wow...I had created the following function that was whacking the sheet out:

Code:
Function IsFormula(c As Range) As Boolean
IsFormula = c.HasFormula
End Function

Why would it cause problems like this?

Not sure, how was it affecting things?

Was that function being triggered by other code?
