Strange characters in Excel

[Stingray]

A user in my network complains then after working sometime in excel
(10-15 minutes) he starts receiving strange characters when typing, like
if he presses the S key A will be written or some other special
character this at the same time also happens with other keys as well.
other products in Office suit runs ok.
Now when i connect to his workstation remotely i don't face this problem
when typing on his screen via my remote control software (VNC)

what can be the problem ?

regards

Sounds like a faulty keyboard. Try swapping it against another one.

It doesn't seem reasonable that it would be a faulty keyboard since it works
with other programs yet you can't rule that out since you can remotely type
without problem. Try a different keyboard and if no joy, consult with the
Excel experts: microsoft.public.excel
