When clicking on the format cell option on one of our computers, it
immediately closes Excel out with an error stating that excel.exe has
generated errors and had to be closed. It doesn't matter if you do it from
the top menu or if you right click on the mouse. We have tried the repair
option as well as uninstalling and reinstalling excel. Nothing has worked so
far. Any suggestions on how to solve this problem.

Thanks.

Try this:
1. open a fresh, clean workbook
2. select all the cells
3. Edit Clear Formats

Then try to set a format

I just tried that and it still gives me the error when I try to select
Formatcells.

Any other thoughts?

Try this trick which most times clears up the problem.

Close Excel, do a file search for *.XLB

Rename it to *.XLBOLD......ignore the warning.

Re-open Excel and a workbook.

Does the problem still exist?

Thanks Gord. I tried the search on the offending pc and it does not locate a
file with that name.

It's a hidden file, make sure you have hidden files included in the search
(more advanced options in windows xp)
