Undo button and redo button quit
My undo button is on the toolbar but is faint. View menu Can't undo is also
faint. I tried deleting and custom addition of the functions and they show active until I close the custom window. Reloading or switching users does not work. I saw a question on this and an answer about VBA or addon could be affecting. What is VBA? I am not a programmer. I did import a xls file that I received from an associate and startet working on that. Could that have effected the main program? |

VBA are macro programs that run within excel. The xls file may have macro
programs that you don't know about. I is best to keep excel in the Medium Secutiry Mode that will prompt you when you open the file if there arre macros and let you disble them when the file is opened. to Change you security settings Tools - Macro - Security - Medium There is an explaination of each of the security modes when you get to the menu above. I like to know when I get a macro in an xls file so I don't have a low setting which will auctomatically run the macro. I don't want a high setting that doesn't allow macro to run at all.

Thanks Joel
I changed the security setting. I have not used macros and I don't see any changes occurring when I open the file. When I open excel and select blank worksheet, the Undo is still faint on the toolbar. I will follow what you have given me. "Joel" wrote: VBA are macro programs that run within excel.

Undo button and redo button quit
I entered an amount in cell, then deleted the amount. While in the cell, I
tried the undo but it is not active. I tried the same in copy and paste. The button on toolbar is not active. In the past, when the program loaded, the button was dark and available if I wanted to undo. Now, all worksheets I open show the same faint button. By faint, I know it is not active. I believe I have a program failure on this aspect. Should I reinstall? "Joel" wrote: You haved to enter or make a change to the workbook before you can undo something.

Undo button and redo button quit
Thank you for your feedback. I have Excel 2002 so no rearrange command. I
have been away. I did get a result from another trial. I entered data in a cell. When I went to another cell, the undo function was available. So, maybe I am not waiting. I will try again to see if this is true. "Joel" wrote: Try reseting the Edit Menu Bar.
