I have made at nice little - someone would say complicated - automated Excel
workbook. The workbook is used only inside my company.

To ensure that no one will open the workbook without macros enabled, the
book is always saved with an info page visible and all other pages very
hidden. When opening the workbook a macro will run and switch the visible
properties for the appropriated sheets.

The workbook is used once a month and will be opened by all my nearly 40
colleagues. It has performed very well for at least a year, but now a very
serious problem has occurred.

In the attempt to open the workbook the data will be loaded from disk, but
when finished only a gray background is shown on the screen below the
formula bar. You can't se the cursor, but it is possible to move around the
cursor while the appropriate values or formulas are shown in the formula
bar, therefore it is out of question, that the workbook is fully loaded.

The problem has "only" affected about 8 of my colleagues. When the affected
persons go to another computer to make a logon on a different computer, no
problems appear. When I go to an affected computer and make a logon as my
self, I don't get any problems at all.

I will be very happy if someone could give me a clue, what to do, to get rid
of the problem.
