Description of problem:
In OpenOffice Calc Spreadsheet I am getting an error "#NAME?" when using the "=" function to reference a cell on another spreadsheet.  This is only occurring when referencing certain spreadsheets.  These sheets were password protected, but I have removed the protection.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. click on any cell and type "=".
2. go to another spreadsheet and click on the cell to reference.
3. press enter.
  

Actual Results:  "#NAME?" appears in the cell.

Expected Results:  Data from the referenced cell should appear.

Additional info:

This is only happening when I use certain spreadsheets.

We'd need to see an example, ideally one that we could share publically, but a
private one if necessary.
