Issues and Solutions
| Description | Explanation | Solution |
| Buttons (or scroll bars or other objects) do not work at all. Clicking a button does nothing. | All of the buttons (and other objects) in my workbooks are tied to macros. You must allow Excel to run these macros for the buttons to work. | Set Excel's Security by following the instructions in the ExcelBasics.doc file and then reopen the workbook. |
