Compatible Mode for 97/2003 doc in 2007
We have an Excel 97/2003 workbook that we pulled up in Excel 2007; but we
noticed that with all the protections turned off there were some things that we could not do, for example, renaming a worksheet. Anyone have any ideas why that might happen? What can I do to fix it? |

When you attempt to re-name a worksheet what happens?
Error message or?? Is the workbook protected under ReviewProtect Workbook?

When she right clicks the tab for the worksheet the function to rename a
worksheet is grayed out. The workbook was not protected as I watched her take the protection off. And I watched her as she tried to rename the worksheet after removing the protection. I also want to mention, which I didn't before, that she enabled the options button after opening the workbook. "Gord Dibben" wrote: When you attempt to re-name a worksheet what happens?

Enabled which "options button"?
Still sounds like workbook protection but you say you saw her remove it so I'm out of ideas.

It's the "options" button below the ribbon that appears when you open a
document. It disables any macros in a document until you enable it. "Gord Dibben" wrote: Enabled which "options button"?

This issue has now been resolved. Apparently, the workbook was protected.
Once we unprotected the workbook, then everything was accessible. Thank you for your help, Gord! "Renee" wrote: It's the "options" button below the ribbon that appears when you open a document.
