Multiple files open when starting Excel
Thanks Jim
Do you mean under Excel? If so, there are 1000's of saved files in the folder and its trying to open all these files! It does not stop trying to load all the files and eventually my PC runs out of memory and the PC crashes Madhu "Jim Cone" wrote: See what is contained under...

Further...
If you can't open Excel, then move the files in the problem folder to another folder; open Excel and delete everything in the textbox at the location I specified. Then move the files back to the original folder. -- Jim Cone Portland, Oregon USA "Jim Cone" wrote in message Yes, Excel.
