Anthony,

Definitely look at the xlb file as Gord suggested. Henry has already ruled
out a runaway Auto_Open or Workbook_Open macro. When things are weird ,
there are a few other things we routinely do. Can't hurt:

Look at "Excel acts generally goofy" at
http://www.smokeylake.com/excel/vfaq.htm. Try those things.

The workbook may be damaged. Depending on your version lf Excel, you may be
able to repair it. File - Open, click the dropdown in the "Open" button and
do "Open and repair." If you don't have that (your version of Excel is too
old), send it to someone with a later version who might be able to do this.

Are the applicable service packs installed for your version of Excel? You
can download them from microsoft.com.

I'm hiding under the table as I say: I hope you have a backup of the file.

Good luck.

Earl,
maybe not, basically I created a workbook with a personal toolbar and many
macros to carry out various tasks. I can Open the worksheet , but as soon
as
I do the mouse cursor changes to the egg times and after a few seconds I
get
'Not Responding'. I can't click on anything within the sheet apart from
the
'minimise' 'maximise' and 'close'
any suggestions

Anthony,

If your code is in a loop, press Ctrl-Break to stop it. Is that what you
mean by "frozen?"
