For some users, however, it does not execute. Moreover, when they run procedures that Unprotect then Protect the WB (to make some forms visible and hide some) Excel quits. I wrote the application in Excel 97 and also use it in Excel XP, but I have never encountered this problem myself. Yet, for the 5% of my users that do encounter it, it's frustrating. Is there a work around procedure I can write? Or a third-party utility I can recommend to fix their problem? Do you have any idea why they might encounter this problem? Please help me get a handle on this problem if you can. Thank you in advance.<br /> <br /> Jim Kobzeff Dear Mark:
