Can excel be opened in safe mode
Startup Switches for Microsoft Excel http://support.microsoft.com/default...88&Product=xlw Example: /s or /safemode As another idea, here is a Help topic called "Customize how Excel starts" <Copy.. To prevent macros from automatically running, hold down SHIFT while you start Excel. Note If you start Excel from the Office Shortcut Bar, click the Microsoft Excel button on the Office Shortcut Bar first, and then immediately hold down SHIFT while Excel starts. = = = HTH & Good luck. :) Dana DeLouis "Bob Vance" wrote in message ... -- Can excel be opened in safe mode, as I cant open it now Not responding and I think it has some thing to do with my macros.

Open excel in safe mode?
Hmmm. Wait a minute. I don't think I said that correctly. Holding the
"Shift" key came from the help in Excel 2003. The following article says Safe mode is the Ctrl Key. <Copy In Excel 2002 and later, to start Excel in Safe Mode, hold down the CTRL key while you start Excel. You will receive the following message: Excel has detected that you are holding down the CTRL key. Do you want to start Excel in safe mode? <...end of copy HOW TO: Prevent Excel from Automatically Opening Files in the Startup Folder in Excel 2003 http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;826922 I tried it with Excel 2002. Starting by holding the Shift Key gave me the Add-In warning (Prevents Macros from running). Holding the Ctrl Key gave me the "Safe Mode" warning. I didn't catch that difference before. :) HTH Dana DeLouis. "Dana DeLouis" wrote in message ...
