Cannot Open Excel getting error: EXCEL.exe has generated errors ..
Friends,
I am having a problem. OS is Win2K Pro and we are using MS Office 2K Pro. On some workstations I get an error while I am working in Excel: EXCEL.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows. You will need to restart the program. An error log is being created. Then Excel will b closed. Today on one workstation I cannot open Excel, same error is coming when I try to open the Excel. But on some workstations its working fine. 1. I reinstalled (fully) office 2. I tried to repair errors in office installation. 3. During installation I installation I installed ms office in new location (not default) but the problem is still there. 4. Checked for viruses, nothing found. I cannot say that this error is coming due to bad installation, because on some workstation Excel is working great. OS: Win 2K Pro. with SP4 and win/office updates. AV: Mcafee Virus Scan(with latest DAT File) Any help any idea? Thanks and Regards, SaiNe |

Cannot Open Excel getting error: EXCEL.exe has generated error
Sounds like it could be a dodgy xlb file. On one of the affected machines,
do a search for a file called *.xlb and blow it away, then try and relaunch Excel. This is the toolbar customisation file and does not get removed when you reinstall. Excel will just create anew one and repolace it with the defaults. You may need to search within hidden files/folders, but I can't remember. -- Regards Ken.......................

Excellent news, and thanks for the feedback. The old file had become
corrupted, and Excel has simply created a new good one. Regards Ken....................... "Saine" wrote in message ... Dear, Thanks a lot for this great infromation.

Cannot Open Excel getting error: EXCEL.exe has generated error
I am getting the same error. I searched for .xlb file with no results.
I change options to diplay hidden files, then click apply, it doesnt keep the change. Running Excel 2000 on Windows 2000 I wnet to officearticles, but none of the articles helped. Any other ideas?

Cannot Open Excel getting error: EXCEL.exe has generated error
close excel
shell to DOS windows start button|Run cmd (windows 2k/xp) command (windows 98) At the DOS prompt: C: (to get to the C: drive) cd\ (to get to the root directory) dir *.xlb /s the /s means to search through subdirectories. Maybe you'll be able to see/delete the files. NANcy05 wrote: I am getting the same error. I searched for .xlb file with no results.
