Microsoft Excel Close Window button.

Afternoon,


We are running MS Excel XP with service pack 2 installed.
Recently a user asked me to investigate a problem where
intermittently, the close window icon in the right hand
corner of the worksheet would not function.

The button would act as if it had been pressed & was
available but it would not actually close the sheet down.

Has anyone else come across this behaviour ?
I cant find any trace of the problem in any newsgroups or
in the KB anywhere :-(

Regards,



Andrew.
 
This was written for xl2k and doesn't sound like it's intermittent and doesn't
sound like the Close button behaves the way you describe.

XL: Close Button Is Dimmed After Groupwise Is Installed

So I'm guessing that this is not it!

But since it's an intermittent problem, I'm gonna guess user error.

If I'm in the middle of changing a value/formula in a cell, and click on that
"close workbook/window X" (not the "close application X"), then it sounds very
close to what you describe.
