I'm not sure but I think the problem might stem from the fact that I emailed to file from office to my home computer. After I while I noticed that after the file name, the word 'Group' appeared within brackets, like the following: [Group]. I cannot set a print area, or print from this file. Does anyone know what's going on? Can you help?

Perhaps you had more multiple sheets within the workbook selected. Excel refers to that as a group. That happens if you click on one tab while holding the shift key and then click on a tab one or more sheets later. You will notice that those two tabs along with all of the tabs between are highlighted/selected. You may have just emailed the group rather than the entire workbook.

Don't know if this helps, but I hope this sheds a little light on the subject.

Thanks for your reply. Do you have any idea how I can get this resolved? I've even tried copying the data to a new file, but as soon I try to save it after copying it, the same thing happens. Do you have a remedy?

just a quick off the top of my head thing.........

if you can, in the workbook, click on a tab that is not included in the group. This should remove the group. Then you can email the whole workbook. Right now, I'm experimenting with grouped worksheets to see if there is another solution. Can't make any promises. Dr. Frankenstein experimented and we all know how that ended up!

Right click on one of the tabs in the group. Click Ungroup.

Thank you so much. I think I will cross stitch this into a sampler and hang it so my family sees it everyday!
Glad I could help.
