Cannot close MS EXCEL 2002 from X in top right hand corner...

[chrmc]

Hello,
MS Excel works fine except that when it is time to close the application, the X in the top right hand corner is a faded red color and will not activate (for a lack of a better term) to a bright red to click on and close. Closing the application from File -> Exit works fine.

I would imagine that this can be controlled via a group policy but none have changed that I know of. Has anyone seen this before? Other MS Applications are ok.

Do you use GroupWise? If so, see the MS KB Article at

Thanks for the article, Someone did mention GroupWise to me last week here. Perhaps this guy does have the add-in. I will check it out and let you know.

Cheers

Hey again,
Turns out that this users uses a program called PowerDocs, a file management system. The X was disabled on purpse to protect users from themselves nad closing Excel without saving their documents.

Thansk for the KB article though, I will keep an eye out for our users who use GroupWise.
