Exiting Excel
The button to close the program in the top right hand corner is grayed out
and unusable. Consquently, I have to click FileExit in order to get out of Excel. This is driving me crazy because I am in the habit of closing it by clicking that button. I also dont' have the ability to right-click on the program on the task bar and select close. That is disabled as well. This problem only exists in Excel and is not dependent on whether I have multiple workbooks open. I am using Office 2000 in Windows XP SP2. Office has been reinstalled and did not solve the problem. I cannot find documentation for this on the web or within the program and the IT department can't seem to figure out the solution. I thought that someone out in cyberspace may have an answer. Thanks. |

Are using using Groupwise?
If that's the problem. See this MSKB article http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;260199 Article is specific for 2000 but I think it is valid for other versions. It gives a workaround (use the file menu) and instructions as to how to remove the Groupwise add-in that is responsible for this behavior.

Good guess with the Groupwise. This is great! Thanks for the help. I
appreciate it. That has been driving me crazy for several weeks. "Gord Dibben" wrote: Are using using Groupwise? If that's the problem.
