Excel
Hi there, A little help required on Cltr key error in Excel. Everytime I press Cltr key, excel automatically puts today's date in the cell due to which I am not able to copy or paste anything...

Try the following:
Quit Excel completely.
Hold down the left Ctrl key when you start Excel again.
You'll be asked whether you want to start Excel in safe mode.
Answer Yes.
Does the problem still occur?

I just tried that but the issue remains the same. I am just curious, Could it have anything thing to do with the sticky keys cos I experience the problem only in Excel, it's working fine in all other programs. Only in Excel the moment I press ctrl key it's put today's date in the cell
