Default Workbook going bad?

36meg is large..........I've used 20meg successfully
I've never seen a workbook with 110 sheets.........I can't imagine the
organization......
The error message says "out of diskspace"........is it?
Do you have plenty of RAM?
Do you have trouble with any other Excel files on that computer........
You say the file works ok on another computer......this would indicate the
file is not at fault.
Do you have the same trouble if you download the file to your Hard Disk and
run it from there?

Answers please....

Hi Everyone,

Using Excel 2003 at the moment. We have an excel workbook that was

probably
started in excel 97 or 2000. It is 36,560kb in size and has 110

worksheets.
The file is our competency check offs. Some of these include pictures

which
were not compressed so that increases the file size.

We are beginning to have problems with it. It takes a long time to open

up
at times. Different problems occur at different times and on different

PCs.
Not sure if this has any relation but....I work for a large hospital and

we
have Windows 2003 server, just upgraded our intranet to Sharepoint. One

of
the errors that comes up is out of diskspace then the PC freezes and I am
asked to debug something and I finally have to ctrl+alt+del my way out.

The
IS network person said it was a system problem. I am not sure he is

correct
because if I log on to another PC and open the file it works, so I am
thinking it's PC related but the size of the file worries me too.

Is there a way to split this file or is that an ok file size for a

workbook?

Thanks,
Linda
