the red "x" is greyed out on my excel application. How can this .

[Guest]

I'm using office 2000. I believe that I may have some sort of virus. I am
able to close individual files from within excel, however, I am unable to
close excel using the RED "X" button. It is greyed out.

Please help.

Are using using Groupwise?

If that's the problem. See this MSKB article

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;260199

Article is specific for 2000 but I think it is valid for other versions.

It gives a workaround (use the file menu) and instructions as to how to remove
the Groupwise add-in that is responsible for this behavior.
