Default Sheet Tabs options greyed out

Excel 2000 SP3

I have noticed that all the options for the Sheet Tabs (mouse-right click)
are greyed out.
Is there a check box somewhere to turn them back on?

Many thanks in advance.

Perhaps there's workbook protection applied ..

Try click Tools Protection Unprotect Workbook
(you may need a password)

Think there's also some features unavailable if the workbook is shared.
Check up Excel's Help for info.

Thanks for replying.

Sorry, forgot to mention that the Workbook, Worksheet have NO protection on
them. Even if I restart Excel and create a new workbook, the options to
change the Sheet 1 Tab are greyed out.

Thanks

Maybe it's time to reset that toolbar.

Hit alt-f11 to get to the VBE (where macros live)
hit ctrl-g to see the immediate window

Then type this and hit enter:
application.commandbars("ply").reset
Then back to excel to test it.

Fantastic, Dave, You are the man!

This fix worked a treat.
Any idea why the toolbar fell over in the first place?
Or is it just a Microsoft thing! ;-)

Anyway, many thanks.

I'd blame a developer!

Sometimes people want to take control of everything that excel can do. And
either they forget to put things back when they're done or something screws up
(excel/windows crashes) and the clean up code doesn't get run.

If you're the developer who may have done this, welcome to the club!
