I cannot seem to get any Right MB Click functionality any...

I cannot seem to get any Right MB Click functionality anywhere in the excel working window (cells, row & column headers, sheet tabs, etc...) in Excel 2007. Is there an Excel Option that I need to set?
 
I don't think I have run a macro to disable right clicking. The closest thing to that would have been some code for disabling command bars.
I have since uninstalled and reinstalled office and still cannot get a right click menu anywhere in the working area of excel. I get the right click menu everywhere else in excel, word, etc... so I'm pretty sure that it isn't the mouse or a setting with the mouse. Very disturbing.....
 
Can anyone help?
 
Thank you,
 
joe

Try starting Excel in safe mode and see if the problem goes away. If it does, you have some add-in or other item staring with Excel and causing this.
 
Start, Run, then type
 
excel /s
 
click OK. (There is a space before the /)

It works in safe mode. Is there any way to determine which add-in is causing this and how do I reverse what it is doing to my MB2?

Can view the add-ins in the Excel Options in 2007 (in the "start" menu). There is a list of Add-ins but they weren't anything that I had added. I'm guessing that I need to go through each of the files to find what is disabling the MB2 menu?

I am not in my office, so I don't have access to Excel 2007. In 2003, you could see the Add-ins under the tools menu. You can search the online help. Also, you can find the XLStart folder and see if any files are located in this folder. You'll have to search hidden files and folders to fine the XLStart.

It could be a custom toolbar or a toolbar installed by another program.
 
Also check under Tools Options (may be different in 2007) for an alerenate startup file location.

Folder is empty.
 
Went to Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\Library and renamed the only .xlam file in there to a bogus extension and that didn't help either.

I'd check out the XLStart folder also.
 
To access the XLStart folder type Start, Run, then type the following (you can copy/paste)
 
%appdata%\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART
 
Click OK
