Excel 2000 Issue
Hello,
I have a user running Windows 2000 Pro sp4 with Office 2000(sp3) When he opens Excel, the workbook is BLANK. No gridlines, not column headings..nothing..just white space. I'm not aware of a NORMAL.dot for Excel, so I'm not sure if it's a template problem. The other thing is, it works find under ADMIN. I made sure the user has read/write to the Office folder and to his Applicataion data folder. Also tried creating a new profile for the user and reinstalling Office.. Still no dice. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks

Try ToolsOptionsGeneral and uncheck 'Ignore other applications' If you cannot open excel try starting it from StartRun with Excel.exe /safe -- HTH Nick Hodge Microsoft MVP - Excel Southampton, England HIS www.nickhodge.co.uk "Scott Nash" wrote in message ...

Try looking for an *.xlb file (May be hidden) in users profile. It the toolbar customisation file. Delete it, it will destroy customisations but Excel will create a new one when it can't find it -- HTH Nick Hodge Microsoft MVP - Excel Southampton, England HIS www.nickhodge.co.uk "Scott Nash" wrote in message ...

Hi Scott,
Try ToolsOptionsView, then under Window options check Gridlines and Row & column headers... other check boxes as needed. Ilya "Scott Nash" wrote: Thanks...tried both and still no luck.
