Hi
sounds like your files on the floppy are corrupt.
Important: NEVER open / save a file directly from/to a floppy disc. ALWAYS
copy the file first to your harddisc

Hi
are you opening the file directly from your floppy disc?

Hello,
I am receiving the following message:

""Excel.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows.You
will need to restart the program
An error log is being created.""

when trying to open xls files that have been copied from another
computer. Both Excel versions are the same and the file works on the
source machine. I am copying it to and from a floppy which also
works when opened on the source machine.
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
