:confused: Something has changed in accessing one or more cells. To start off, the work sheet works on one computer as usual.
When opened on a different computer the normal "left click a cell" doesn't bring up the usual black select border, nor can you left click the column letter or row number to highlight these. Also cannot left click drag across to select multiple rows. Seems to me a "setting" on the second computer has changed. (sheet protection is OFF). Help would be gratefully received. Doubling clicking any cell lets you edit or add data.:confused:

Repeat Last Command
Pressing F4 adds dollar signs when editing a formula. When not editing, F4 repeats last command.
If you load the visual basic editor and type...

Code:
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

...in to the immediate window help?

Load workbook. Load VBE (ie alt+f11). Go to the intermediate window - you may have to first go to view and show the window. Type in the above and hit enter.

It may not be the issue, but at somepoint the application could be disabling screenupdating (ie via an add-in). This would, at least, rule the above out...
