Excel 2003 cannot copy between workbooks

I cannot copy number or formulas between workbooks once the workbook is
saved. However, I can copy and paste between workbooks before they are
saved. Copying and pasting on the same worksheet or on additional worksheets
within the same workbook are not a problem. The problem is only between
different, saved workbooks.

I have downloaded and installed the latest Office updates. Any ideas?

Does your reference to 'Saved' mean saved-and-closed?

How is the copy/paste being attempted?

Saved means saved, but not necessarily closed. Saved and closed behaves the
same way. The copy/ paste have been attempted via the keyboard (ctrl c/ctrl
v) and the tool bar.

Saved means saved, but not necessarily closed. Saved and closed behaves the
same way once the worksheet is reopened.
