If the user can see something when he/she does a print preview, then the
workbook is opening.

What version of excel are you using?

If it's xl2007, try hitting ctrl-o (to see the File Open dialog). Then hit
escape.

Some people have reported that installing an addin will get rid of this problem.

If you're using xl2003 or earlier (or xl2007 and that suggestion didn't help),
then try:

Open excel and open your file
Window|Arrange|tiled (in xl2003 menus)

or
View tab|Window group|Arrange All icon (in xl2007)

and resize them the way you want (maximized???)

Excel file is in a shared folder. For one user only, the file opens but
worksheet is not visible. Blank blue screen, no grid. File shows up in Page
Preview and Full Screen View, but in Normal view, there is nothing! "Unhide
sheet" is not an available option. Other users view the file just fine. Any
ideas?
