It is possible that ctrl+a is mapped to a macro by her personal.xls file or
an addin and has nothing to do with the *.xlw. This situation would match
what you describe.

Do this, close, then open xl (don't open the xlw file), open a blank
workbook and do ctrl+a on her computer and see if it copies the text file.
If it does, then you can see it doesn't have anything to do with the *.xlw
file.

Hi, I'm having trouble with a *.xlw file. On a Win95 computer, with
Excel97 sr-2, a user will open the file "abc.xlw". She then hits
CTRL+A, and something (a macro?) runs and copies data from a *.txt
file on our network.

On any other computer, this process will not work. I can't figure out
how to make it run. If we open the same "abc.xlw", and hit CTRL+A,
all excel does is a Select All. I've looked for macros/vba projects,
and can't find anything.

I also posted this is ms.public.excel.worksheetfunctions, but got no
response so far.

Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!
