    Web Browsers Dissappear in Excel 2010

    Hi guys,

    I recently upgraded from excel 2003 to excel 2010, and opened one of my files. The file size is identical. Yet the web brosers I had are now not visible.

    Literally, that is all there is to it. Some web browsers are visible but others have just disappeared.

    Is there a reason for this? When I convert it into an excel 2010 file the unseeable web browsers disappear but the others remain. Is it something to do with grouped rows? As it appears the oens which disappearr are present in the grouped rows.

    Thanks

    Ok after a bit of trialing, I have found the root of the problem.

    Basically, if I shut the file with the grouped rows containing the web browser closed, and then reopen, then the web browsers disappear.

    If I shut the file with the grouped rows open and then reoopen then the web browsers remain.

    What on earth is this about?

    update again. In fact this is not the problem. The problem is that when I close the grouped rows, the web browsers shrink to size with them. HOWEVER, when I expand the rows the web browsers do not resize to be larger but remain as a thin line that is almsot invisible.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks for sharing. I have noticed bugs from version to version and there is not much anyone can do except find a workaround.

    Good luck.
