If you can see the name of the workbook in the title bar, then that workbook's
worksheet window has to be maximized within excel.
My only other guess is that the columns and/or rows are hidden for that
worksheet.
Edit|goto|type:
1:65536
and hit enter
(this selects all the cells)
Format|row|unhide
format|column|Unhide
(and this doesn't make sense to me, since you said others can open it normally.)
