Hi

I tried this method and the workbook still won't open. Is there a way you
can open Excel in 'safe mode'?

Thanks

Hi

I was happily working away on a workbook yesterday when I tried to use a
conditional formatting on a rather large range. This caused the workbook to
crash and now when ever I open it the workbook gets stuck and won't load
completely. Does anyone know of anyway opening the book with calculating, or
any other measure that might enable me to open the workbook.

I am using excel 97 on windows nt platform.

TIA
