AppName: excel.exe AppVer: 10.0.6832.0 ModName: excel.exe ModVer: 10.0.6832.0 Offset: 0006e3fc
I am modifying an Excel file that I recieved from my Client. I was
able to edit the file without problems until recently. Now when I open the file, make even the slightest change, save as a new file, close out of the file, and then try to open the file again, I get the following error message: AppName: excel.exe AppVer: 10.0.6832.0 ModName: excel.exe ModVer: 10.0.6832.0 Offset: 0006e3fc The file makes Excel crash and then it recovers the file but all the formating is gone. My client is using Excel 2003 I have Excel 2002 SP3. Is there anything I can do to eliminate whatever is causing Excel to crash so that I can modify the file as it is? |

I am still able to open an older version of the file, but when I make changes, then save as a new file, that is when Excel crashes. If I were to download OpenOffice, and succeed in opening the file, I'm not sure the file would be fixed so that my Client and his associates would be able to open it in their Excel programs. Are you saying that if I open the file in OpenOffice and save it as a new file, then open it again in Excel 2002 it may be fixed? |

Yep. I'm saying it MAY be fixed.

I think it has something to do with disabling macros and/or searching for links to other files which it didn't ask me before when it was crashing. Now I seem to be able to save the file as compatable with Excel 97/2000 and it works. Thank you so much. |

What was the actual resolution? I have the exact same problem with MANY in house Excel files and after two weeks I am beat! I even reloaded one of the machines and it has the same problem. I tried OpenOffice and that didn't help. BTW, OpenOffice without Java is 96MB. Please help, I'm in the same boat :( |
