can't access one column

[~Avery Anderson~]

Hi,
A friend of mine works for an electric company and they sent him an excel
file that is used for maintenance scheduling. He is unable to access one
column and is frustrated, etc. So he emailed me the file. I can access it.
He put it on a floppy and tried it on a co-workers computer, and she could
access it. So I saved it as an excel 98 file and sent it back thinking an
older version might work, but it didn't.
By not being able to access the column I mean, when he clicks on a cell
nothing happens for him, when I click on the cell the courser appears and I
can enter data.
TIA for any ideas,
Avery

It sounds like the worksheet may be protected. Has he tried to unprotect
it?

some of it is protected, the programmers at work made it, but the rest
isn't. You know, the columns where you enter the data. The column isn't
protected because I can access and so can a co-worker on her computer at her
home. It works properly on the laptop at work, too. The problem is with
the tower at home.
