Problem - Excel 2003 SP2 - Tools / Autocorrect Options....

[Desperate Don]

Clicking the menu item Tools / Autocorrect Options.... does not display the
Autocorrect Options but instead Basic File Search appears in the sidebar.

Sorry if this is the wrong forum but I can't find anywhere to report a
problem such as this, without wasting one of my two free emails to a support
technician. Have spent frustrating half-hour searching MS web site, just to
be helpful to them.

Works okay here. Yup, SP2. You might try renaming your toolbar file:

C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application
Data\Microsoft\Excel\Excel11.xlb

(with Excel closed) to get back to the Excel defaults.

Yes, getting rid of my own toolbar file does fix it. Implies there is a
problem there then.... (a no-brainer). Thanks for reply - will investigate
further tomorrow.
