Strange problem....excel not responding
Hi all,
I have just migrated my workbook from my standalone laptop to a work networked pc - My pc uses excel 2003 pro and work pc excel 2003. When I execute the copied workbook on the n/w pc it opens, I enable macro's no problem. When I try to do things such as set a print area excel hangs - taskmgr shows excel as not responding! Everthing is fine on my laptop so not sure what the issue could be. The VB used is self contained as in it does not create temporary files or require external data. Advice welcomed....tia |

Strange problem....excel not responding
Is the workbook on the networked PC itself, or are you running it from
a server? I've had a similar problem on our Novell network. The culprit in our case is McAfee's VirusShield, which is their equivalent to the Norton Antivirus AutoProtect. If VirusShield is on, we cannot work with Excel files stored on the Novell server. But I'm not sure if VirusShield causes trouble with macros on the local PC. In short, turn off auto-protection and see if you can use the workbook. If so, see if you can configure the AV software so it leaves your workbook alone. Otherwise, turn off non-essential processes in the Task List one-by-one (HP printer software installations sometimes cause trouble) and see if one of those is the problem. |

When you set a print area, excel accesses the default print driver to do so.
Perhaps your default print driver is corrupt or try setting a different print driver as the default. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "sacrum" wrote in message ...

Advice welcomed....tia you're a clever bunch...excel is installed locally on the nw pc not on a app server. There were problems with the nw printers today and virus shield is running. Thanks for the pointers, I'll look into both in the morning.. |
