Are we getting the full picture?

You mention a particular user. Does that mean this is a an office network of some sort? Do other users have the same problem with the same file?

Is the file located on a server? If so, what happens if the file is copied to this user's machine.

More details please.

Yes, this is in an office setting, and no other users expereience this problem with this, or any, spread sheet. It's located on a file server. I'll try to copy it from the server when I get a chance.
