Hi

Excel 2003 (11.8316.8221) SP3 on Windows XP

When the Excel starts it activates the first sheet in the workbook but shows
portions of the second and third sheet "bleeding" into the first sheet. This
is easily worked around by say minimising and maximising the workbook or
causing it to repaint in some other way. After the repaint the first sheet
shows correctly in full.

a) Has an update to Excel been issued which fixes this problem?
b) Can you think of a good workaround (given the details below)?

The workbook is a VBA application which has worked well for a number of
years. It has broken as described above since an update to Excel in
mid-October. The broken build is 11.8316.8221 SP3.

In the workbook open event a number of sheets are unprotected and then
protected (for drawing objects and scenarios). If this functionality is
commented out then the problem goes away. This behaviour looks shoddy and is
difficult to explain to the application's customers.

Thanks for your help.
