I have written an RTD provider which returns data in the
form of a string which is ~10K (One row in a blank
sheet).

After my data is returned and I do a save, Excel takes
several minutes to write an excessively large temporary
save file (about 1GB) then returns a 'The disk is full'
message (even though I have 20GB free) followed by
a 'Document not saved.' message. How can I get my RTD
spreadsheets to save?

Hi Ken,

So far as I know on this issue, you may need to write one COM server for receiving RTD data. There is one kb article introducing this which needs the
Office XP and later. Please go to:

I don't beleive the problem is in my RTD server. To
reproduce my problem
1) take one of the RTD server projects you mentioned (I
used the V++ one)
2) Modify the RefreshData method to return a long string
(I returned a string of 12000 'x' characters)
3) reference that data via a the RTD function in a single
cell of a workbook.
4) after the data has come back in the RTD cell try to
save the workbook - this should reproduce my problem.
