No it is the only item greyed out. I have checked for the worksheet being
protected which it isnt and finally renamed the file, coopy at vast expense
of my time all the relevant details and then saved my new file under the
original name.

On reflection, this only seems to come about in files which were in use
before I got 2003. One of the Access files repeatedly tells me to check and
make sure the file is safe before loading/using
