Default I can't delete my worksheets

I am using a file to maintin lists. I want to delete uneccesary worksheets,
but the "Delete Sheet" option is greyed out and unavailable, both in the
"Edit" menu and the pop-up menu. Any ideas, anyone?

No, it isn't, as far as I can tell. I looked at that first thing. It is a
shared workbook when at the office, but when I take a copy home, where it's
not in a shared directory, I still can't delete the worksheets.

Do you see [Shared] in the title bar?

If yes, then there are lots of things that can't be done with shared
workbooks--including deleting worksheets.

Okay, yes--I thought that might be the problem. Thank you for the help. Is
there any way to "un-share" the workbook? Even when I make a stand-alone
copy in an independant directory it still calles it (Shared).
