Eric,

your response is threaded as a reply to Matthew, but here you have
replied to my comment about buffer wide PROPERTY setting of :cache.

Here is an example of the difficulty I face:

,----
| #+property: :cache yes
| 
| 
| #+name: Ablock
| #+begin_src emacs-lisp :results value :exports both 
|   (current-time-string)
| #+end_src
| 
| #+results[2ca40f0dc0f23e5743133e229d9e8f31b31830c5]: Ablock
| : Wed Feb 29 11:57:19 2012
| 
| 
| * headline 1
|   :PROPERTIES:
|   :cache:   no
|   :END:
| 
| #+CALL: Ablock() :exports results
| 
`----

When I place point under the headline and issue 

     C-c @ C-c C-e a

I get 

,----
|                               headline 1
|                               ==========

`----

showing that Ablock() actually was executed.

If the :cache setting under 'headline 1' is omitted then no update of
the time string is performed.

I understand that this behavior might be considered a *feature*, not a
*bug*. 

Either way, having an easy way to copy results into other parts of a
document would help me out.

Best,

Chuck
