Default loosing columns in excel 2000

Arnold

By "vanished" do you mean the data is gone?

I would suspect operator error in this case.

Do your column headers indicate A through IV or some are missing, as in
hidden?

Perhaps the column widths are just set to zero or a small number?

I'm a long time Excel user & database my clients info there. During the last
week I've lost columns. The first time about eleven columns vanished, & now
another one has disappeared. I cannot attribute this to any particular
action. The first time I was hiding the columns in question to work on other
information. The hidden columns were gone. This most recent was while I was
rebuilding the missing information, saved for the day, shut down over night &
restarted the following day, a column was missing. I'm using Office 2000
Professional on a Pentium 1.4 GHz, Windows 2000 OS, saving to My Documents
under my user area (not Administrator), & am the only user, & have 785 MB
RAM, multiple hard drives, using C:\ for this, which is a 230 GB drive with
