Thanks Gord. I tried the search on the offending pc and it does not
locate a
file with that name.

Try this trick which most times clears up the problem.

Close Excel, do a file search for *.XLB

Rename it to *.XLBOLD......ignore the warning.

Re-open Excel and a workbook.

Does the problem still exist?

I just tried that and it still gives me the error when I try to select
Formatcells.

Any other thoughts?

When clicking on the format cell option on one of our computers, it
immediately closes Excel out with an error stating that excel.exe
has
generated errors and had to be closed. It doesn't matter if you do
it from
the top menu or if you right click on the mouse. We have tried the
repair
option as well as uninstalling and reinstalling excel. Nothing has
worked so
far. Any suggestions on how to solve this problem.

Thanks.
