Excel crashes when trying to save.
Hello all, I have a pretty complicated worksheet iv been working on. It has about 10 sheets in, and many many macros, and uses a DDE interface to connect to a different program. Yesterday, I finished working on it, saved, and went to bed. Today, iv opened it up, but without me even changing a thing, it wont let me save at all. Neither "Save As" with a different name, or the regular save is working. I tried moving it to a different computer, and it doesnt save there either. It says excel has crashed, and asks me if I would like to send an error report. I dont understand it, as I changed nothing since the last save yesterday (which worked fine). Does anyone have any suggestions? -- Ori ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ori's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=37675 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=573529 |

Ori,
Try the "Open and repair" option in the Open button of the File - Open dialog. I think this varies with the version of Excel. -- Earl Kiosterud www.smokeylake.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- "Ori" wrote in message ...

Excel crashes when trying to save.
Actually, while copying the spreadsheet over to an old version from a few weeks ago, it managed to save again somehow, and has been working fine ever since. (Wish I knew what was wrong in the first place though so I could make sure it wouldnt happen again) Iv never heard of that option though, and will keep it in mind if anything like this happens again. Thanks for your help. -- Ori ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ori's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=37675 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=573529 |
