I created a workbook with some macros, including a WorkBook Open ()
procedure in version 2000.

When I open it on a system running 2002, I get the dreaded "Microsoft Excel
has encountered a problem and needs to close" message.

The document is then opened and recovered in a "Repaired" status, except
that just means it is opened and all the macros are removed.

What could be the problem?

Also, is there a way to open the file anyway but disable the macros so that
I can eliminate macros progressively to determine which one might be the
offender?
