Help! I wrote a vba macro for Excel XP, ran it (and it ran without
problems), saved the spreadsheet, exited Excel and later reloaded the
spreadsheet - but now while loading the spreadsheet, Excel crashes!


You;ve tried holiding down the shift key while opening, to prevent
Auto_Open macros from running?
