Excel crashing intermittently on save or file close - caused by vba?
I have developed an Excel front end for an Access (Jet ver. 4) 2000 database
(using MS Office XP). The program works fine, I can add records, query the database, etc. using the forms I made, and so on. I have been modifying this app to fit other databases. In the process, I have discovered a problem where when I try to save, or when I try to close the app after saving, Excel crashes and must be restarted. This was only annoying until I just lost nearly an hour worth of work... I have no idea how to start troubleshooting the cause of the crashes. I can only assume it is something in the code I have written that is causing the issue... Thoughts on where else I should look? TIA D |

I got similar when not handling userforms correctly. Creating a new userform
object, show modal and let the procedure exit. The userform still displays, but the memory is unallocated. Stange things happen to Excel. -- Rob van Gelder - http://www.vangelder.co.nz/excel "dirt" wrote in message . ..

Rob, thanks. That was it, when I ran the app the way it was designed, no
problem. When I was developing (fiddling with it I mean...) it would crash when I didn't allow the userforms to properly unload before I saved and exited. D "Rob van Gelder" wrote in message ...
