 Excel97 Close Button (x) greyed out

The close button (X) in the top right of Excel 97 is greyed out and can't be
clicked on.  I have to FILE - EXIT instead.  This has happened over the last
two days and effects anyone who runs excel over the network.  We have
checked for viruses using the latest version of VET but uncovered nothing.
The button is Solid when the app starts up but Greys out as soon as it
displays a clean sheet.  Anybody any ideas??

mmm, soundslike someone is calling the API which deletes the control
toolbox. If you want to get it back run the
addin I will send you separately, but your probably better of tracking down
the offending code:

Thanks andrew.  By using Alt F11 to check running macros i found that
someone has put a file called GWXL97.XLA in the main network xlstart folder.
TGhis is part of the integration of Novell Groupwise 5.5 which just happens
to disable the close button in excel as part of it's operation.  We will
probably remove it in the next few days.  At least it's not a Virus!!

Cheers

    Eso es porque tienen una macro sobre la funcion de cerrar. En mi
caso se activa cuando se instala Group Wise 5.0 de Novell habilitando el
manejo de Word y Excel. Hay que buscar la macro y quitarla para que no
tome el control sobre el boton. Espero que esto te ayude
