Grey Screen of death

Well, not death but sometimes when I am using an excel worksheet, I get a grey / sometimes blue panel that covers the left hand side of the screen - approximately 25 percent of the screen is overlayed with this panel.

This happened yesterday when my VP was demoing an application I developed to a SVP. So, if anyone knows how to prevent this "Feature" could you please let me know asap? I am going on a two week vacation in 2 days, and I need this app production ready by Friday

As usual, I appreciate all of your assistance, this board is a great forum and I try to support it by buying all of the books on the web portal. Come up with some new books, and I will buy them

Thanks

Don

I don't know a way of preventing it (and if anyone can find one then God love you!) but I know a way of getting rid of it once its happened.

You need to drag a Toolbar over to the bottom left hand corner of the screen.

Actually since I dragged one over and left it their the problems have ceased so maybe thats the answer :-P
