Password not working on one machine
 
This is very bizarre. I have an excel document that is password protected
and can be open by everyone except for this one computer. It's saying that
the password is not correct. It doesn't matter who is logged in so it tells
me it's computer specific. I have tried a different keyboard, with no
luck...any suggestions would be great.

I used to walk over to a co-worker's desk and turn off the capslock button.
Could it be something that simple?

Is the password not correct message coming from excel--or maybe from a macro
that's running after the file is opened.

If you start excel in safe mode:
close excel
windows start button|run
type
excel /safe
hit enter

Then file|Open the workbook

does it open?
