Toolbar not working correctly in IE after loading Excel doc in bro
After opening an excel spreadsheet in IE, the toolbar displays File, Edit,
View, Insert, Format, Tools, Data, Go To, Favorites and Help. The Edit, View, Format and Tools do not work when clicking on them. We have tried a few different pcs. Seven of them work o.k., two do not. We have different versions of IE mostly Windows XP, Excel 2003 and IE 6 sp2. The ones that do not work have Windows XP, Excel 2003 and IE 6 sp3 the other one has Windows XP, Excel 2003 and IE 7. |

Toolbar not working correctly in IE after loading Excel doc in bro
I have had issues with IE opening excel files also. IE has a limited version
of office that it uses and it was cause me all kinds of problems with my custom tool bars. I fixed the probelm by changing my preferences to always open Excel files in real Excel and not the IE version. To set your preferences to always open excel files in a seperate window, do the following. From any folder window (like My Documents), Click the Tools menus bar and select Folder Options. Next click on the File Types tab and scroll down to .xls and select the line. Then click on the Advanced button and uncheck the box "Browse in Same Window" This will have the files open in real excel rather than the IE version. -- If this helps, please remember to click yes.

Toolbar not working correctly in IE after loading Excel doc in
Paul, thank you for your response. I did find that as being a way to get the
menu bar to work. I am looking for a way to get the menu bar to work in the Internet Explorer window, if I cannot then I will go with changing the "Browse in Same Window" setting.
