I have a data table listing various attributes (columns) of sale items
(rows). I have created a pivot table on this array. In the pivot table I
have asked for row data on 'size' and column data on 'category' then data on
average of 'price'. All works fine except when selecting the drop down on
'category' I cannot UNCHECK items in the resulting listbox. This happens
periodically with any PivotTable I make and seems to be no ryme or reason
behind this frustrating fallderall!

Under 'Table Options' the 'Enable Drilldown' checkbox is checked...

Any suggestions as to a configuration I have missed or ??? would be greatly
appreciated.

TIA

You can't uncheck a page field, but you should be able to uncheck a column
field.
Are you sure you dragged 'category' to the column area and not the page
area?

Yes, I am sure. I am not referring to entries to the page area. I have
done a number of things including completely rebuilding the entire workbook
without success. I simply cannot uncheck any of the checkboxes either on
columns or rows on either the table or any charts created from tables. I
saved the file to a ram drive and took it to my office computer and tried it
there and it works fine; I tried it on my laptop and it doesn't work there
either. Evidently there is something about my home system(s) it doesn't
like and it's really beginning to **** me off! hehehe

Using Office 2000 Premium on Windows XP sp2 on all three systems.
