    workbook locks after unhiding rows or columns

    Hi

    Odd excel issue. When I ungroup rows or columns in my excel workbook I can no longer click within the sheet I am locked out. I can still close and save the file and there are no additional error message but no portion of the ribbion, tabs or within the current worksheet are excessible. Also the workboook does not crash when I try and click on different options its just nothing happens. Finally there are no other windows open or text boxes as I have shut down all other programs on the computer.

    Any help would be appreciated, thank you

    upon googling i came up with these:

    there seems to be a lot of topics about it. I have never had any issues so i can not attest to anything. Hopefully one of these might help you.

    good luck
