Solved: Unable to maximise excel spreadsheet from the taskbar

[Ed Cole]

Hi,

I have Excel 2003 SP2 on a users XP SP1 PC. When they have a few spreadsheets open they appear on the taskbar but when they try to tab between them or maximise them nothing happens. They can open the spreadsheets by going into the current one and selecting Windows and selecting the one they want.

There are always another number of applications running on the PC at the time but they can tab fine through them it just seems to be excel related.

thanks in advance for any assistance,
Ed

Quite odd - they appear on the taskbar but nothing happens when they click on them? Or do they not appear on the taskbar? The latter is an easy fix, go to Tools, Options, View, Show Windows in Taskbar.

Thanks slurpee55 for the reponse. That option was checked but it seemed to resvole itself.
