Hi all,

In Windows Excel (2002 edition) my right click button seems to not be
working (it works everywhere else except in the cells). In the cells,
the right click acts exactly as a left click.

The problem is when I want to edit a macros button (which requires me
to right click) but everytime I try to do that by right clicking on it,
it sees it as a left click and runs the macros. Any help would be
appreciated.

BTW, my operating system is Windows XP.

Thanks.

PS: not sure if this is pertinent, but I have a hyperion essbase
database retrieval program installed in Excel as an add-on.

Is the worksheet protected? That will prevent you from editing a macro
button.

It is an Essbase issue.

In Excel go to the "Essbase" menu ~> choose "Options" ~> "Global" tab
and uncheck "Enable Secondary Button".
