Excel 2000 Issue

[Scott Nash]

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 Tools>Options>General and uncheck 'Ignore other applications' If you
cannot open excel try starting it from Start>Run with Excel.exe /safe

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

Hi Scott,
Try Tools>Options>View, then under Window options check Gridlines and Row &
column headers... other check boxes as needed.
