Are you sure that the file was opened?

If you go to FilePrintPreview, can you see data?

If yes, then maybe the sheet window is just off the visible screen.

Try: WindowArrangeTiled (and resize the way you like).

Office 2003: I have a user with a saved worksheet that is used on a
bi-monthly basis. When she tried to open it on her computer it opened in a
blank gray status with no worksheets showing. I tried to open the document
on another machine while that document was open on her's and I got the
message that it was open and locked for editing. The size of the .xls shows
that it is not a blank document, but you cannot see the spreadsheet or any
others (no tabs at the bottom). Oddly enough, when I tried to access this
.xls from a Office 2007 computer, the spreadsheet opened with no problems.
This .xls had never been opened with Office 2007 before as it is only
installed on 2 test computers in my office. Also, this problem is not
consistent with all of her .xls files. Only the one. Is this a corrupt
document that needs to be restored from backup? Or is it something else?
