Can not copy a worksheet to another workbook
Hi,
I am currently using Excel 2003, I have a 3.11mb file with about 20 worksheets, this file has been around much longer than I have. Every month I would copy 4 worksheets to another workbook. This month I am no longer able to do this, I right click the tab, and choose move or copy, and choose the workbook, and check create a copy, nothing will happen, it does not matter if I right click on the worksheet tab or use the Edit menu. It will let me move the worksheet, but it will not allow me to copy it. I got an error message on named ranges (saying they already exist) when I moved it to a new workbook and then tried to copy it back to the orginal, I looked at the name ranges, and there had to be over 50 of them, I don't need them, so I deleted them all, expect one. it will not allow me to delete it, and it is refering to a workbook that no longer exist, before the name of the range it has to square boxes, I can not rename or deleted it, I dont know if this has anything to do with not being to copy the workbook. Please help if you can Thanks |

Can not copy a worksheet to another workbook
My only direct involvement with a corrupted workbook started this way. I could
move worksheets, but not copy them. I ended up rebuilding my workbook (ouch--not an easy task). I think I would give serious thought to starting that. If the workbook is corrupted, someday, you may not be able to even open it. But as a temporary workaround, just open both workbooks, move the 4 sheets to the other workbook and close the giant workbook without saving. When I did this, I was using xl2002 at home and xl97 (or xl2k) at work. I brought the troublesome workbook home and it appeared that opening in xl2002 and saving there cleared up the problem. But after a few attempts at work, the problem was back. I didn't use this, but lots of people have said that it has saved them heartache and pain: http://www.openoffice.org, a 60-65 meg download or a CD Maybe it'll help you. cyndi wrote: Hi, I am currently using Excel 2003, I have a 3.11mb file with about 20 worksheets, this file has been around much longer than I have.
