Jon Peltier believes the effect is linked to certain third party VSTO
addins. If you have any of those see if temporarily uninstalling them makes
a difference.

i know i've seen this before and actually fixed it before, but i can't
remember what causes it.

the workbook i write the code in opens and closes other workbooks but the
closed workbooks are still listed in the project explorer window after
they're closed.

can anyone refresh my memory as to why?
