Tried that. thanks for the tip, started me looking in the righ
direction, but haven
t solved the problem.

The worksheet is shared.  I searched help to "unprotect" a worksheet
Tools/protect . On both computers.

Also   Format/cells/protection, and unchecked that (on both machines
the other is a 98se, with Excell 2000 on it. I wonder if there is
conflict between, Excell 2000 and 2002?. Anyway, I continue to have t
de select Format/cells/protection

Still having problems with this, but this is what I have done since thi
morning. I've copied  from one work book to another. In the new workboo
I have the ability to use Format/Conditional Format. The new work boo
is NOT shared. I can not delete the information from the old work boo
then replace it. This tells me either a problme exists with sharing th
original workbook, or something is inbedded on the original page. Hav
attempted to located formatting problems, but being new at this reall
do not understand if I have done the search correctly. Pontentia
exists to create two problems instead of just the one, of not havin
the ability to use conditional formating. ???  

:confused

Your problem is that workbook is shared.
To unshare:    Tools, share workbook ...,
     uncheck allow changes by more than one user ...
