Thanks for the response Dave.
 
I don't know if the customer also had Excel 2007, but I think I've  
identified the problem. 
 
The original file had a number of named ranges which pointed to  
spreadsheets in other workbook files, that had not also been  provided. I 
believe that 
when he opened the file, Excel prompted him asking  if he wanted to update 
the file he was working on from the external sources. He,  not being aware 
that spreadsheets and workbooks can refer to resources in other  files, 
choose to update the file, thereby corrupting the worksheet he was  working on, 
causing him the problem I described.
 
Someone else retrieved the original file and worked on it with  successful 
results by not allowing Excel to update from the external  resources.
 
Larry
