EXCEL Stability Revisited
I wrote:
It seems that EXCEL fails about every 15-29 minutes? Is this common? I'm running Office 2007 on Vista Home. More info per dwl: I just tried to save a workbook and I get a message that says "Microsoft has stopped working." It tries to recover my data and restarts Excel. I usually have the VBA window open. Help! -- Thanks, Don |

EXCEL Stability Revisited
That does not sound like a legitimate MS error message.

I miss typed":
"Microsoft Office Excel has stopped working." Then: "Microsoft Office Excel is trying to recover your data." Then it restarts with some data recovered. -- Thanks, Don "Bernard Liengme" wrote: That does not sound like a legitimate MS error message. -- Bernard V Liengme Microsoft Excel MVP www.stfx.ca/people/bliengme remove caps from email "DRA" wrote in message ...

EXCEL Stability Revisited
Excel 2007 is not as stable as earlier versions, but it doesn't fail for me
every 15-29 minutes, unless I happen to be using the same file again and again. This indicates to me that there's some corruption in the workbook, so I then try to rebuild it. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - http://PeltierTech.com _______ "DRA" wrote in message ...

EXCEL Stability Revisited
I tried to "re-build" then workbook by:
- Copying cells (not the sheets) - Copying the macros by drag and dropping the module in the projects window - Copying the userforms the same as macros. I still had a failure when saving it. Did I do the re-build wrong? -- Thanks, Don "Jon Peltier" wrote: Excel 2007 is not as stable as earlier versions, but it doesn't fail for me every 15-29 minutes, unless I happen to be using the same file again and again.

Perform these operations sequentially, with a save in between. I there any
one component which prevents the save? What if you perform the steps in a different order? - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - http://PeltierTech.com _______ "DRA" wrote in message ...

Maybe you could try the Repair option while opening the file. I don't know
how to invoke it, maybe from the Open File dialog. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - http://PeltierTech.com _______ "DRA" wrote in message ...
