I upgraded to office 2007 from 2003 (I think) but now on a couple of documents I cant see all my tabs as the worksheet window goes well below the excel window. I cant move or resize the work sheet window, It's not protected. when I try click on the top bar of the worksheet window - here you would usually be able to drag it around I cant.
however if I select it in full screen mode i can see all the tabs.
I have checked the settings and "show tas" is ticked. I've googled for an hour and tried numerous things but to no avail.
If I try view as tiles It still doesn't change.
My only option left is to copy and past each sheet.. or is there a way to copy a wwhole work sheet tabs and all?
Please help!!
Thanks.
You simply need to double-click the title bar of the worksheet window. This will cause it to Maximize, which will make it fit to the exact size of the application window.
Workbook was protected. I went to review tab . took the protect workbook drop down and unselected protect.. worked as normal then!
Hope this helps someone!
Thanks!

I hope you can help me with this issue, I couldn't find any answer nor on google nor here. So here's the point:
I have to userforms. One of them opens on Worksheet_Open. In the Background I can still see the worksheet and the excel application. But when I click outside of the userform or close it, the application window disapears too. But in the open processes I can still see excel open.
My intention is to have the Excel window always open (in the background) so that when I close the UserForm the Excel Tables will be visible.
What do I have to code for that? To hide the userform didn't work for me...
Thanks in advance.
Hi there if you want to use both excel and your Userform at the same time then go to your Userform property and make ShowModal = False
I'm having a problem with radio option buttons on a UserForm I have created in excel. When the UserForm is loaded it is defaulted to OptionButton1. If I toggle to OptionButton2 and then toggle back to OptionButton1 excel will be unresponsive and crash when I close the form. If I just toggle to OptionButton2 and close the form or don't toggle them at all, everything will be fine. It only happens if I toggle more than once in a given runtime. Also, the option buttons are on a frame on the userform if that makes any difference.
I have commented out ALL code that is triggered by events attached to the controls and it still happens. Also, the code works perfectly fine in the case that I only toggle the options once. It will crash simply by changing the option to 2 and back to 1 without executing any other code. I have another option button group on the form and I don't have any issues with that group. I can toggle them as many times as I want.
I'm not able to share my actual workbook and have been unsuccessful recreating the problem in an example workbook. I'm not sure what else I can provide that would be of use. If anyone has any suggestions based on my description of the problem, it would be greatly appreciated. I have run out of ideas.
Things I've tried:
Removing all code associated with the controls
Changing and removing the group name for the set of option buttons
deleting the option buttons and remaking them
changing the names of the option buttons
copying and pasting the existing working option buttons and renaming them
EDIT: I was able to save as on my original workbook and delete everything out except the working and broken option controls. Here is a link to the sample book which is a bare skeleton of my actual workbook:
Link to workbook example.
Even with everything gone, the problem still happens. If you open the userform, you can toggle between the "Option A" and "Option B" buttons, but if you try to toggle between "Option 1" and "Option 2" excel will crash when you close the form.
Your User-Form and /or controls are corrupt. In line with what Commitern suggested, instead of full export and recreation, try this:
1.Delete your faulty user form. in this case `Test`.
2.Save and close Excel.
3. Go to C:\Users\<<yourusername>>\AppData\Local\Temp\VBE
4. Here delete all the exd files.
5. Re-open workbook add new form, name it `Test` and all option buttons.
All works fine.
Remember if you try to add a new user form and rename it as the old one Test without saving the file, you will get error.

I have an Excel Workbook containing three worksheets. However all sheets seem to be hidden dispite that their visibility is set to xlSheetVisible (Found by looking at the worksheet properties in the VBA editor).
This is what I have tried so far to solve the problem.
Searched Google for help, but all similar problems have been solved by changing the Visibility from xlSheetHidden to xlSheetVisible. But in my case that setting is already set to xlVisible.
By using VBA I have tried to activate a sheet without any result.
By reading this you might have guessed that I am able to see and access the worksheets from the VBA editor.
Despite that looking at the normal Excel userinterface, all buttons are disabled and clicking at the office/file button in the topleft corner doesn't allow me to save the workbook. However if I make any changes to the VBA itself and tries to close the workbook then Excel asks whether or not I would like to save the workbook.
Everything you describe leads me to believe you're hiding the workbook window, not the worksheets. When a workbook window is hidden, all the sheets become hidden and much of the functionality from the toolbar greys out.
In the Visual Basic Editor, you'd also be able to see all of the worksheets and their visibility would be xlVisible, yet they cannot be seen on the screen. This is because they ARE visible, but the window which displays them is not.
Please try clicking the View tab in the toolbar, and then under the Window pane, click Unhide.
If this doesn't work, then try toggling visibility of the workbook.
It sounds like this may really be your problem...

I'm working on a workbook in Excel 2010 that someone else created (I don't know which version they were using) with a button in it that invokes a macro. There are a lot of macros defined, so I'm right-clicking on it to find out which one it calls, but the context menu doesn't appear. Instead, when I click off, the button gets larger. I can make this happen as many times in a row as I'd like. There is another button the same worksheet that has the same context menu problem, but instead of growing, the text shrinks each time. There is another button that functions normally when I do this.
Growing buttons in Excel is a fairly common issue, with several theories about why this happens, including the use of multiple monitors or using proportional fonts. I have yet to see a definitive answer about this, but there are several workarounds that may work for you.
Delete and re-create the buttons.
Programmatically set the height and width of the buttons when the workbook is opened and when a button is clicked.
Select the button with another object or two on the sheet and group them.
Don't use them at all.
My personal choice is #4. As an alternative to buttons, I either use hyperlinks or shapes with macros assigned to them.
I think you want to enter "Design Mode" in the work book:
You should be able to right-click on the button to see what it does after that.
I have this same issue. I have two Excel workbooks with similar buttons on each. This only happens on one of them, but it happens every time I open that file.
I have found a sort of work-around. I open a blank Excel document, then I open the affected one and the buttons do not change size any more. When I open the second one, I have to drag it into the window with the already-open file. If I double-click on it, it opens in a new window and the problem remains.
I have the same issue sometimes. In my case, I could replicate it 100% on one file but it was inconsistent on an virtually identical file. I also found the size error wasn't permanent -- I could save and reopen the file to restore the button's appearance. I could also create a new window and then discard the damaged window.
For me, the button resized when I accessed the sheet's HPageBreaks collection. I was able to avoid the problem by temporarily changing the window view as follows:
ActiveWindow.View = xlPageBreakPreview
' do pagination stuff using HPageBreaks
ActiveWindow.View = xlNormalView
This is an odd problem but frustrating none the less.
I have a worksheet saved which is larger than the Excel 2007 "workarea".
This means when I open the worksheet I cannot access the corners of the worksheet to reduce the size and the worksheets title bar area (with move,size,minimise etc) is hidden beneath the ribbon , even if I remove the ribbon , I still can't see the title bar.
In Excel 2003 I've had a similar effect but I've always been able to hit the "alt" key to access the "Move" option.
However in Excel 2007 , hitting "alt" brings up some shortcuts for the ribbon etc but I can't access the worksheet options.
Has anyone else know how to access the worksheet drop down when this happens?
View -> Arrange All perhaps?
Your problem is most likely in your monitor setup in Windows. Maybe have a play around with that so that Maximized windows don't maximize to a size greater than your screen size.
