Why is Right Click Menu Disabled ?

[stuartgb100]

Having strange Excel issue.
Open Excel and choose a standard workbook.
Right click the mouse and there is no menu available.
Open an existing workbook and there might be a right click menu or not.
There does not seem to be a pattern.

I can easily enable the menu with a Commandbars routine, but it's very annoying !

What is going on, please ?

Perhaps a Win Upgrade caused a corruption ?

Can you reload Excel ?

Which right-click menu? Any add-ins at play? or workbooks in XLSTART?

Hi JK and Logit,

If I right click with the mouse on a sheet tab I get no options, nothing - so I cannot rename or delete a sheet (for example).
As for addins - as far as I know, no addin is being loaded when Excel opens.

The odd thing is that this is not consistent across all workbooks.

Hallo, have you or someone else "played" with the ribbon? It is possible to de-activate right mouse-button in this way. regards

When you say no Options ? is that no right click menu at all or is it just the menus for deleting , renaming etc sheets that are greyed out ie disbaled ?

No menu options at all.
And I meant that none of my addins are loaded.

Try opening Excel in safe mode (hold down the control key when you launch Excel). Is the menu there? If so, an add-in or a workbook in your XLSTART folder or a menu customisation is causing the trouble. See https://jkp-ads.com/articles/startupproblems.asp for other options to fix this.
