I had a user call me and show me something strange today and I thought I
could run it by you guys.

Basically here is the key were talking about:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Excel.Sheet.8]
"BrowserFlags"=dword:00000008

We are running Office XP on Windows XP.

When browserflags is set we have problems with a drop down in the excel
workbook. It always sets itself to a single value even after selecting
something else.

Behind the scenes it appears to be working fine because it puts the correct
value in the linked cell and if I go to properties for the form the .value
and .text are set to the correct value and not the incorrect text displayed
in the actual drop down.

If we remove the browserflags it fixes the issue of the incorrect item
showing up in drop down display.

Any ideas on why this would be happening or how to fix it?
