VBE causes excel and word to crash when closed
As of recently my word and excel consistently crash on close. If I open
excel or word without opening the VBE the procrams close fine. If I had the VBE active, however, I get something like "instruction ..... referenced at memory .... could not be read". This happens even when I do no editing whatsoever, just start excel press Alt-F11, close VBE (no problem), save workbook (no problem), close excel and than the error appears. Every thing seems OK except that changes made to options et cetra are not saved. What could be the problem?? Office 2000, Win2k, Panda daily updated automatically and virus check OK, MS Antispyware active and OK, no add-inns loaded, no special startup files. Thanks for the help, Janwillem |

No idea...
But I think I'd try eliminating stuff and see if it helped. If it's easy to temporarily turn off your antivirus program, start there. (Same with the antilspyware stuff.) I think each program in office 2k has Help|detect and repair. I'd try that. Maybe reinstalling Office?? Janwillem van Dijk wrote: As of recently my word and excel consistently crash on close.

Do you use google desktop search (or any other type of program like this)?
I'd turn that off, too--just to see if that helped. Janwillem van Dijk wrote: As of recently my word and excel consistently crash on close.

Have you recently updated your video drivers? I had some very
strange problems with the VBE window after I updated some Matrox drivers. I rolled them back and the problems went away. -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft MVP - Excel Pearson Software Consulting, LLC www.cpearson.com "Janwillem van Dijk" wrote in message l...

Thanks for the useful tips.
I think I found it. After removing Adobe PDFWriter and its office macro's the problem disappeared. Probably one of these automatic updates by Adobe has introduced the problem a week ago. Now Excel starts up in a quarter of the time and shuts down in a tenth of what it used to do. PDFCreator is nicer anyway without all the macro klimbim. So I am happily waiting for the next mysterious problem. Janwillem van Dijk wrote: As of recently my word and excel consistently crash on close.
