I'm surprised you could pack it in like that. I usually store my archives on
CD and preserve my code in a text file somewhere.

I have an excel file about 86 MB with macros, smart tags and lot of rich
formats and cell comments etc. I seem to get error "Unable to open file" when
file exceeds 84 MB, it also says it is unable to repair. I am very
disappointed to say the list. When Excel recovers the file all macros are
deleted as well as all formats are gone.

Can someone offer suggestions ?
