I posted this before, but it was presumably censored by Microsoft.

Solver is now highly unstable when called fom VBA in Excel 2003: many progs
crash or go into a loop of having to have the solver add-in added and removed
- then will work once, before having to repeat this tedious procedure.

Any advice appreciated, as class of grad students has wasted a geat deal of
time on this for progs that worked fine in previous versions of Excel (since
98)

To help you, you have to help us. I can't work on your problem with the
details you've provided so far.

Please ensure that no other programs are running. By that I mean no virus
checkers, not Outlook, nothing except Windows and Excel.
Also ensure no other Excel Add-Ins are installed - including Automation
Add-Ins.

Then try to make a set of instructions which will reliably reproduce the
Solver crash.
Also detail exact steps you go through to workaround the problem.

Post your results here and we can try to assist.

You received two answers previously -

I didn't find any problems related to XP in the knowledge base. However, in
your current post your subject says in "XP" (which is xl2002) and in the
body you say "Excel 2003". Microsoft did make some adjustments to some of
the statistical functions in excel 2003 including the random number
generator, so if you used these, maybe you modeled to old behavior.

I don't see any evidence that anything has been censored.

Please provide some evidence, i.e., a reproducible example.
