I did try searching but since this originally happened in late 2008, early
2009, I haven't found it.

The problem is that the programmers in my office write macros meant for
specific spreadsheets. The macros do various things from disabling built-in
menus, to preventing users from being able to insert rows and columns, use
the save as option, etc.

I am the one who usually gets to test the spreadsheets and try to crack them.

Sometimes what happens is that the macros get to be too good as they seem to
affect any workbook, new or existing, that I open in Excel thereafter.
Meaning if I open a totally unrelated workbook that does not use those
macros, I still cannot use save as, insert, etc.

When I originally posted this before, someone gave me a code that gets
inserted into the VB editor that would reset everything.

I'm not a programmer and know very little about the VB end of Excel, thus I
really appreciate your help.

P.S. I've seen this happen in Excel 2000 and 2003, but haven't experienced
it in 2007 yet.

If you can't find it give some more details and I will try to find it for
you. If between us we still can't find it, I'll suggest some possible
reasons your all your workbooks are locked. But as there are a number of
reasons much better to find the one you already know will is relevant for
your situation.

I've posted this before, just forgot the answer...sorry.

One of our programmers created a macro to prevent insert option, save as
option etc. for a specific workbook.

The macro has, however, now infected all workbooks. Even if you create a
brand new workbook, all of these options are grayed out.

I know there is a reset code. Could someone share it with me. Thanks.
