Hi Steve
When you open the file and get the grey screen do you have any normal
functionality. i.e can you print it or save it despite it not appearing? Or
is it just an empty instance of excel?
Just a whacked idea. I once had a disappearing spreadsheet and found somehow
the user had minimized it and then dragged it out of view and somehow the
sheet stayed that way?? I eventually realised what had happened after about
two hours of head scratching.
Cheers
Dan

I have a user running Office 2000 on Windows 2000 with an important
spreadsheet that they (or I) can't open.
It they double-click on it from Explorer, Excel is opened but the workbook
doesn't open. (just the grey screen, as if Excel has been launched on its
own). No error message.
If they launch Excel, then File -> Open the spreadsheet. It returns to
Excel without opening it. Again no error message.
All other spreadsheets open fine, so it is clearly a problem with the
spreadsheet, backed up by the fact with same results opening spreadsheet
from other PC's.
I have done a search on Microsoft and Google, but have not found anything
helpful.
There is no available backups of this file, and user needs access to this
spreadsheet.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Steve
