Hi THF, This isn't guaranteed to solve the problem, but it's worth a try. Use Windows Explorer to search all of your hard disks for files with a .XLB extension. Delete any that you find. Note that this may be a hidden file, so you'll need to set Explorer to show hidden files before searching. Excel uses these files to store information about its toolbar configuration, but they frequently become corrupt and cause strange errors like this. Excel will create clean new default versions after you delete the old corrupt ones, but you will lose any toolbar customizations you've made.

This works. Excel opened for me right after deleting the .XLB file. Thanks for the solution. > This works. Excel opened for me right after deleting > the .XLB file. Thanks for the solution. Hi Keith, Great to hear it worked! And thanks for letting me know. It's very helpful for problem solving in the future.

I have spent many hours with one of our PC's trying to solve this problem by uninstalling, reintsalling, etc. A total restore of the drive was the only solution. It would happen about every six months & i would do a total restore. It happened again today this solved the problem. Thank you. >-----Original Message----- >> excell worked fine and one day it started locking up the [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] >will create clean new default versions after you delete the old corrupt >ones, but you will lose any toolbar customizations you've made.
