I have a user trying to read a workbook with Excel97. He cannot see anything (even after allowing Macros when opening the book). I am using Excel2000 and I can see everything. He said he opened it once but cannot now. Is there some setting or mode he changed by accident to cause this? When viewing properties of the sheet, it shows all of the sheets in the contents.

Please help

Have you tried saving the workbook as "Excel 97-2000 & 5.0/95 Workbook (.xls)" from the file menu, Save as...? That will remove non-compatible stuff from the workbook.

Also, Excel allows the user moves a spreadsheet out of the viewable area. To see if that is the case, from the Excel menu bar, have him choose Window, Arrange..., and select Cascade.
Then, save have him the workbook.
