Donald,
Do you have a RefEdit control in the workbook?
They can cause all sorts of havoc.

I have been programming a little Excel application and am just about
finished when a strange thing happen:
When the workbook is opened the worksheets open in a small window on the
right-hand side of the screen which has no minimize, maximize or close
buttons. The window cannot be moved. The command buttons are non-functional.
However the macros can still be run from the keyboard shortcuts.
I have never encountered this strange behavior.
Ideas? Suggestions?
