I think that this was a problem in early versions of xl2003.

There was a service pack that fixed this problem.

If you click on Help|about, what version (including service pack) do you see?

If it's xl2003 and not SP2, then it's off to microsoft.com to get the update.

Thanks Dave, All I see when I look in About is "Microsoft Office Excel 2003"

When I check my System Info, Version list "5.1.2600 service Pack 2 Build 2600"

Is this what you are talking about or is there a specify SP for Excel? If
so, where on the site can I find the update?

Thx again... dave-

I would have guessed that one of the SP's included that fix, but glad you got it
working.
