as you suggested Parry. There is a file called Book1 in the XLStart folder.
I suppose it's safe to just delete it?
Thanks for your help with this one.

74658 2002-08-29 01:53:00 No problem although my spelling has been shocking lately :-)

Another thing I thought of is to insert your Office Cd then select the option to repair installation files (or something like that). Im at work so cant tell you the exact wording. This will try and repair files and hopefully this will correct the problem. You could also just reinstall Office again.

This problem suggests something wrong with Excels files but macros and addins can also effect what happens which is why I suggested looking in the xlstart/startup folders.

Let me know how you got on.
