Hello to MrExcel forum,
This is my first post here, I read all the rules and tips and hope I manage to make my first post without breaking any rules - if I do - please forgive my beginner's mistakes!
I have an interesting problem with Excel 2010. I found only one mention of this in the Internet - but unfortunately - no solution yet.
This is what happens: A user has an excel 2010 document open (can be more than one too). He modifies the document (or writes a new document) and tries to do a "save as" - but - once this is tried, excel freezes and doesn't let you do anything else other than kill the process (thus losing all data!).
After investigating a lot, the problem was found (but not the solution): What happens is that the "save as" dialogue box HIDES UNDER/BEHIND the excel document and since this dialogue box is the active window, you can't do anything to your document until you reach that active window (which we can't reach because it hidden UNDER the excel doc).
A way to get to the dialogue box is: if you show all open windows side by side (not sure how this is called), it usually gives access to the dialog box - but not always.
In the experts exchange, there was someone suggesting to disable graphics hardware acceleration within excel - but it was not useful either.
Do you have any ideas about how to solve this problem? Have you heard about this before?
BTW - I read in your rules something about "cross-posting" - I am not sure I understand what you mean by that, in case the meaning is if I asked the same question in another forum, then the answer is yes and here is the link: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...9-835de6afddf7?tm=1305630640167&page=2#footer
Thanks in advance for your help.
