chart grayed out
 

Excel 2003, XP system - No matter what I do the chart icon is grayed out. I
tried detect and repair, but this did not fix the problem. I am up to date
on my Office 2003 updates. How can I fix this and get the chart to work?

On the Tools menu, choose Options, click on the View tab, and under Objects, select
Show All, not Show Placeholders.

The Show All option was already selected.

Is the workbook shared?
