Excel 2000...Click on different Worksheet...Get a New icon and can

[Guest]

Message says it all. I go into any spreadsheet with multiple worksheets, and
as soon as I click on a different worksheet than the original one that it
opens to, my mouse pointer turns into the icon that is clicked to open a new
spreadsheet (the sheet of paper with the upper right corner folded over). Is
this an Excel setting that I am missing. I cannot figure out how to get it
to stop doing this so I can toggle between worksheets.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Brian

It sounds like you are dragging the sheets, not clicking them.
Be sure you release the mouse button before you click it.
Perhaps there is some kind of "click-lock" enabled?

By the way the subject lines get cut off after uhhhh... 1, 2, 3,... 66
characters, if you use the Microsoft website.
If you use a *real* newsreader like *real* (wo)men do, it's less of a
problem. However the subject line *should* be as short as possible. A
better subject line would have been:

XL2000: strange mouse pointer when trying to change worksheets

62 characters, but a much higher information density. And more
/catching/ or /attractive/ for possible readers.

HTH,
