thanks for the tip jim, is there any way to disable cut in a workbook and
have it follow the workbook around, not harming the excel application?

it's funny how it effects excel for every spreedsheet i've done since???

When changes are made to the menus or toolbars, either manually or by
macros, they are recorded in you toolbar file (Excelx.XLB) and restored
each
time you restart Excel. The changes have no link to the workbook that
happens to be open at the time. So when Options was disable, it's
disabled
"permanently".

"Permanently" meaning until a macro enables it, or you delete your XLB
file
(with Excel closed) (this resets ALL menus/toolbars to their default
settings), or you use View, Toolbars, Customize, Toolbars, pick a
toolbar/menubar, and click Reset.
