Can't right click
Help !!
for some reson two of my macros's attached to two pics in my worksheet have 'dropped out' and the right click has been somehow disabled so I can't edit the pics so that I can reattach them. The worksheet is full of various bits of VB code (most of which has been donated from here) so I don't even know where to start looking in the VB editor for the potential problem. Anybody any ideas to help, or what to look for in the code?? many thanks |

Possible the sheet is protected which would disable the right-click on the picture unless you had "edit objects" checked when protecting. Does the right-click menu pop up when you right-click on a cell or column/row?

Can't right click
Does it only happen in that one worksheet? Only one workbook?
What happens if you start excel in safe mode: close excel windows start button|Run excel /safe file|open your workbook and test it out.

Dave,
Clever! opened the worksheet as suggested in safe mode (never new that exsisted) and the right click works fine. Can I adjust things and then save the file for use in normal mode??

Sounds like code disabled the Cell right-click menu. Run this macro. Sub reset() Application.CommandBars("Cell").Enabled = True End Sub How about if you right-click on a sheet tab? If sheet tab r-click is also disabled you need Sub reset() Application.CommandBars("Plyl").Enabled = True End Sub I would also be looking at any workbooks or add-ins that may have code running to disable the right-click menu if it occurs again.

Gord,
the code.... Sub reset() Application.CommandBars("Cell").Enabled = True End Sub did the trick for normal r-click, but on running the other bit I get an error... Run-Time error '5' invalid procedure call or argument ...also still unable to r-click on my images, as this is what I realy want to do so that I can adjust which macro they point to. thanks this far "Gord Dibben" wrote: Anthony Sounds like code disabled the Cell right-click menu.

Can't right click
It might be easier to just kill all the toolbars (reset to factory defaults).
if you want to try: close excel windows start button|search look for *.xlb and rename all you find to *.xlbOLD restart excel and test it out You'll have to rebuild any custom changes you've made. === If it doesn't work, just rename the *.xlbOLD back to *.xlb (you may have to delete any new *.xlb before you rename the old) Anthony wrote: Gord, the code....

It shouldn't take more than 5 minutes to do it, test it, and reverse it if it
