Hello all and thanks in advance for your input,

I am having a trouble with a user on my network experiencing a color palette
problem:

If two workbooks are opened in the same instance of Excel, one with a custom
color palette and the other with default, the workbook with the default color
palette inherits the custom color palette. I can duplicate it as many times
as I want on the "afflicted" computer, but can't duplicate it on my machine -
even with the same files. Both machines have the same version of Excel (2002
SP3).

I've read a handful of other posts of users with the same problem but
haven't found any solution.

FYI, these workbooks contain no VBA (no modules and blank form modules). I
was logged in as the owner of the machine when I tested this on his machine.

I hope there's a solution out there!

Thanks
