XL2003 works just fine. I even went to the extent of instantiating an
object of the class and initializing the App object with the code below
(in a standard module):

Option Explicit
Dim x As Class1
Sub testIt()
Set x = New Class1
Set x.App = Application
End Sub
Sub resetIt()
Set x = Nothing
End Sub

Basically, I ran the testIt code, then opened the text file.
Everything worked just OK.

Hi,

I have workbook with an EventClass whose contents are included below. All
methods are blank. However, just having those blank templates causes Excel
to crash (with 100% consistency) when I try to open a text file a.txt with
the following contents:
1 2
3 4
5 6

I get to tell excel how to parse it (Fixed width or Delimited) but when I
click Finish, the crash occurs.

If the workbook containing this event class is not open, no crash occurs.
Opening an excel workbook rather than a parsable text file is no problem.

Thank you so much for helping me.

Aaron
