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 |
Can't right click
Is the worksheet protected?

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?

Gord,
The sheets(s) are not protected, and no, the right click menu doesn't show if I right click anywhere ! uuummmm "Gord Dibben" wrote: Anthony Possible the sheet is protected which would disable the right-click on the picture unless you had "edit objects" checked when protecting.

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.

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
failed.
