Problems with pivot tables and/or charts
My project is working OK in XL2000 but in XP or 2003 I am seeing strange
behavior. I have 5 pivot tables in a workbook and am programmatically creating charts and manipulating the pivot tables and copying/pasting them into sheets as reports. When I perform the report generation in XL2000, it works OK. In XP or 2003, I am seeing random errors and behaviors such as repainting problems or strange automation errors. Some of the problems a - Error: "The object invoked has disconnected from its client". Random places in the code. - The pivot table worksheets won't repaint. The bottom 1/4 of the screen is unclickable. - In XP the (x) for close sheet is missing and I can't type any data in any of the cells. Like the sheet is "locked". Sometimes the reports work OK, other times it debugs on certain lines. I rebuilt the tool entirely in a new workbook, and the same problems persist. Does anybody have any ideas as to what this is caused by and how to fix? |

Problems with pivot tables and/or charts
After some more investigation I believe I have found the issue.
I am importing some Excel data dumps that have been generated by another system. Those were saved with sheet names containing illegal characters, something like "ReportName.aspx?T". Excel 2000 can open them no problem using Workbooks.Open but XP requires the CorruptLoad parameter in order to repair it. However, apparently Excel XP doesn't like that anyway. Even after Excel repaired it after Workbooks.Open, the problems still remained. If I manually rename the sheet and then run the process, all of the problems go away. Those illegal characters hosed Excel up tremendously, but didn't affect 2000. Only XP. One of other strange errors was the hanging hourglass after the code ran. The hourglass remained until after I clicked on a cell and would reappear. There were other things but they are all gone now and Excel is operating normally. Amazing that the bad sheet name would have such an effect. Anybody know how to open sheets w/illegal (repaired) characters without hosing Excel XP up? "Tim Zych" wrote in message ...
