VBE Opens When Unlocking Computer

[Thomas M]

Word 2000

Each time I leave my computer, I hit CTRL+ALT+DEL and lock the machine.
When I unlock the machine the VBE opens and is devoid of toolbars and menus.
If I close the VBE and open it again, the toolbars and menus are displayed.

This does not appear to be related to any specific document, as it happens
with every document I've tested, and without regard to whether or not the
document contains macros or is based on a custom template.

My employer runs Novell 6.5 on the network, so the login screen indicates
Novell Client for Windows. This happens with Excel as well, so my suspicion
is that this is a Novell problem. Nonetheless, I thought that I would post
the question here to see if anyone else has encountered this problem.

Any ideas on why this happens?

We solved this issue. It appears to have been a problem with a Novell
service. We turned off about half a dozen services that were not needed,
and the problem was fixed. We didn't bother to narrow it down to the
specific service.
