Excel Object showing strange behavior

I can't say for sure, but sometimes dockable laptops display some screwy
characteristics apart from normal desktops......I can't remember exactly
what the problem was, but something to do with "rights" and server
software.........I know this is not a solution, but if you don't get a
better one, it may give you a lead............
