XL97: RefEdit Control in Binder Does Not Collapse

• Microsoft Excel 97 for Windows
• Microsoft Office 97 for Windows

SYMPTOMS

When you use a RefEdit control on a UserForm inside a Microsoft Binder document, the RefEdit control does not collapse when you click the RefEdit button on the RefEdit control.

2. Click View Outside on the Section menu. The worksheet appears in Microsoft Excel.

3. Once you have completed viewing the worksheet outside of the Binder document, click "Close and Return to Binder" on the File menu in Microsoft Excel.
