Right click button not working in excel

Hi all,

In Windows Excel (2002 edition) my right click button seems to not be
working (it works everywhere else except in the cells). In the cells,
the right click acts exactly as a left click.

The problem is when I want to edit a macros button (which requires me
to right click) but everytime I try to do that by right clicking on it,
it sees it as a left click and runs the macros. Any help would be
appreciated.

BTW, my operating system is Windows XP.

Thanks.

PS: not sure if this is pertinent, but I have a hyperion essbase
database retrieval program installed in Excel as an add-on.

Is the worksheet protected? That will prevent you from editing a macro
button.

It is an Essbase issue.

In Excel go to the "Essbase" menu ~> choose "Options" ~> "Global" tab
and uncheck "Enable Secondary Button".

Excellent!!!! It worked perfectly!!!!
