Right clicking not working in Excel
 
You should ask this query in an Excel group rather than a general OS group.

Hi all,

In Windows Excel (2002 edition) my right click button seems to not be
working (it works everywhere else except in the cells). In the cells,
the right click acts exactly as a left click.

The problem is when I want to edit a macros button (which requires me
to right click) but everytime I try to do that by right clicking on it,
it sees it as a left click and runs the macros. Any help would be
appreciated.

Thanks.


PS: not sure if this is pertinent, but I have a hyperion essbase
database retrieval program installed in Excel as an add-on.

It sounds like you're not in design mode when you right click on the button.
Right click on any visible Tool Bar, or click VIEW and select TOOLBARS, and
activate the CONTROL TOOLBOX toolbar. The first button on the toolbar has a
pencil, a triangle and ruler. Click this button to toggle design mode
on/off. ONce you're in design mode right click on the button and you'll get
the short cut menu.
