Excel 2003 duplicate sheets

I have encountered a most bizzare problem in Excel 2003. I had a spreadsheet with 3 sheets containing different information. Upon reopening it, the contents were identical, and those of only one sheet. When I entered more data into one sheet, it appeared on all the others. I have reverted to having only one sheet in any Excel 2003 document, since I cannot guarantee safety of data in any sheet

Has anyone had this? I would contact MS, but refuse to pay $35 for something as ridiculous as this. It should not happen, and I have lost over $350 in the lost data. Don't mention backups, I am installing a new computer and normally do routine backups, this happened in that critical window.
 
Hi Steve,

Click to expand...

Seems like the sheets are in group mode (shows: the tabs are all white).

Get out of that mode by rightclicking any sheet and selecting ungroup.
