You hit one of my favorites. I'll bet excel works in safe
mode ok. Try it by clicking Start->Run->excel /s
Staci, it's 99% likely it's a busted toolbar. Do not
listen to those who suggest uninstall and reinstall -- the
problem stays because the toolbar is considered data and
not program so busted toolbar do not uninstall.
Start->Search(or Find if you're Win 9x)->Files & Folders
"Find what:" should be *.xlb search the entire C: drive.
Rename the .XLB files it finds to whatever.OLD (e.g.
excel.xlb renamed excel.old (Yes you can delete them, when
excel launches and doesn't see one, it makes a new default
toolbar called excel.xlb)
Launch excel the way you normally do and all should be
well.
And, yes, it's your turn to buy the beer!
