XL2003: control button not visible

[Guest]

Hi,

on one of our pc (XP Prof, Office 2003) the user control buttons (which call
recorded vba code) in an excel sheet are not visible.

The sheet is based on a template, which is filled with data from "outside".

When moving the mouse cursor in the area, where the control buttons should
appear, the cursor changes its style from a thick plus-sign to an arrow.

Has anyone an idea, which settings are responsible for this ?

Regards

Just some guesses...

1. Close excel and clean up the windows temp folder

windows start button|run
%temp%
is a quick way to get there.

Clean up as much as you can. You may want to close any running program to be on
the safe side.

Then back to excel to test it out.

2. Close all other programs, then open excel to see if that helped.

3. Set the zoom factor to 100%.

4. If all else fails, you may want to try to use the controls from the Forms
toolbar. (Are you using controls from the Control toolbox toolbar?) It would
probably mean some updates to your code, though.
