I don't believe that this was a coincidence, a colleague who installed Google
desktop experienced the same issues and was able to duplicate the same
erratic behavior in excel.

I don't use google's desktop search and I've seen this occur.

In the small times I've seen it, it hasn't caused a problem--but if I'm worried,
I'll close excel and reopen.

I am experiencing unexpected behavior with the VB Editor in Excel
2003. I have a protected project that I open and then unprotect. If I
close the Excel file the VBA Project will still be displayed in the VB
Editor even though the file is closed. If I open the file again there
will be two instances of the project in Project Explorer window. If I
close the Excel file and exit Excel I am prompted for the project
password. The Excel application is closed but the password dialog box
will remain open until the correct password in entered??any ideas????
