When I start and close Excel2000, this message come
up. "Unable to locate file menu. Instant access not
removed." When I close the window excel works fine.
But it´s irritating. What can be done??>>
Hi Marina,
This error is usually caused by a malfunctioning Excel program that is
opening and closing with Excel. There are two places where a program
workbook could potentially be running from. Here's how to find and remove
them:
1) Select Tools/Add-ins from the Excel menu.
2) In the Add-Ins dialog, uncheck every add-in that has a checkmark beside
it, make note of the names of the add-ins you uncheck, then click OK.
3) Close Excel, then using Windows Explorer, navigate to your XLStart
directory. If you installed Office to its default location, this will be:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\XLStart
If you're running Windows 2000 or XP, there's an additional start directory
you need to check located at:
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application
Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART
Where <username> is the username you're logged in as.
4) If there are any files in the XLStart directory, move them another
location temporarily (don't rename them and leave them there, it won't
work).
Once you've done all this, restart Excel and the problem should be gone. To
determine exactly which program file was causing the problem, add them back
one at a time, restarting Excel each time until you get the error again.
When that occurs, whichever one you added last is the culprit.
