Is your worksheet protected?

Does it happen in a brand new worksheet in a brand new workbook?

If it does, maybe just resetting that toolbar would be sufficient.

Tools|customize|toolbars tab
select "worksheet menu bar"
click Reset

You'll lose any changes that you've made to that toolbar--but you can add them
back.

columns to delete. How do I fix this problem.
