Sounds like the workbook protection is enabled.

Maybe the title bar is just off the visible screen.

Thank you for the reply but this did not solve the issue! there is still no
minimize or maximize or exit button for the workbook? "Dave Peterson" wrote: Maybe the title bar is just off the visible screen.

The only two times I've seen a window without those three buttons are when the
workbook is protected or when the title bar is just not visible. You said no to both. I don't have any other guesses. Maybe someone else can jump in. kr4d wrote: Thank you for the reply but this did not solve the issue! there is still no minimize or maximize or exit button for the workbook?

minimize and maximize buttons missing
MVPs- Your suggestions were right on. I was experiencing the same problem-
due to enabled Protection. I had forgotten at one point that this protection was enabled. The previous user may not realize protection was enabled at some point in the past (i.e. if the data was copied into a new, blank workbook, the protection carries over. Maybe a previous user has enabled it?) Since the owner is not asked for a password upon opening the workbook, it's not immediately apparent. Also- I found that you do not receive any sort of error or confirmation message if you have entered the wrong or the right password at the Disable Protection box... If it's incorrect, only a refreshed, blank password field. If you enter the correct passoword, the password field (screen) disappears. Luckily- I got it on the third guess, password box simply went away and the minimize and maximize buttons returned.

minimize and maximize buttons missing
You MVPs and this site is awesome. Just had a peer come to me about the
missing Clsoe, resize and minimize buttons. I turned off the worksheet protection , but missed the workbook protection. This had been a thorn in my associates side for a number of months, and now it is solved thanks to this thread. Thanks to all of you!

minimize and maximize buttons missing
Yes thank you. I had a coworker w/ the same problem but it was in excel
2007. JR Hester's comment got me thinking. I found under the review tab the workbook protection was set. I'm supposed to be the Office 2007 expert (they voted me as the expert). I'm back up to 100% problems solved. Thanks for making me a hero again. "JR Hester" wrote: You MVPs and this site is awesome.
