Hi Peter.

I think I have worked out why the fix is not working. As I do not have
administrator rights to run regedit, I am running is as an administrator.
I
am guessing that the regedit that I am altering (CURRENT_USER) is
therefore
that of the administrators account and not my account (obviously where the
problem is).
I think I need to be given rights to be able to run regedit under my
account
and then the fix would work. Hopefully I will have this fixed soon.

Thank you for your help on this.

Regards
ben

Hi Ben,

Was Excel and in particular the VBE closed when you named the Dock key,
then
after re-opening and closing was a new key created, if so is it same as
the
old key.

Hi Peter.

I have tried as you suggested in the thread but editing the registry
settings unforntunatley this still has not resolved my problem. I
cannot
see
the 2 windows at all, and when I click on the icons in the toolbar to
view
the windows, the focus moves off of the VBE but nothing is ever
displayed,
it
is like they are hiding off the screen somewhere.

Do you or anyone else have any further ideas.

Many thanks
Ben

Hello.

I am slightly stuck at the moment. My project explorer and
Properties
windows have disappeared in the vba editor.

I have tried all the obvious ways of getting them back (F4, tiling
etc),
but
nothing seems to bring them back into view.

Anybody got any ideas how I can get these back.

Thanks
ben
