Welcome All,

I have very strange problem while working in Excel. It is hard to define so I was not able to find anything about in in search. It is also hard to define when it exactly happens, but the problem is following:

While working on more than 1 Excel Workbook from time to time everything is blocked:
- i can't change any cel, i can't change my selection in one excel;
- my menu tools bar is not active (grey)
- my ribbon is not active (grey)

The only solution for this is to go to second workbook and click somewhere there and then to come back to previous workbooks.

Do you have any idea how to solve this irritating problem?

Thank you in advance!
