Default Macro screen- everything but Run and cancel is greyed out

OK.

Your first post stated the workbook was "not shared or protected" so we did not
look at that aspect at all.

Thanks for posting the result.

set a password to lock?? Any thoughts?

You will probably get a password dialog because the project is locked for
viewing.


Supply a password to unlock.

I am assisting a customer running Excel 2003 on a Windows
2K system. He has lost the ability to edit macro on a file he created.
From the Tools Macro Macros screen, the only buttons available are
run & cancel. Everything else is grayed out. I tried editing the macro
from Visual Basic -Tools-Macros- same issue. It isn't a protected or
shared worksheet. Any ideas?


Thanks.


ok, problem solved. He had turned on "highlight changes" under track
changes. This option shares the worksheet. Macros can't be edited in a
shared worksheet.
