I use xl2002 and have never seen it, but...

How did you try to get the dialog:

Does it appear when you use the shortcut key, ctrl-f?
Does it show up when you use edit|find?

I got nothing but silly guesses--keyboard broken, mouse problems???

Detect and Repair doesn't detect or repair this either

Search in VBE is broken. No dialog box comes up.

Search in Excel still works fine in a worksheet.
Anyone else have this before? Thinking it might relate to the Google
Desktop Search, that is uninstalled, but that didn't do it.

Excel 2003
Thanks
