This "event" is not a feature. It's a problem with your workbook. If it were
happening to me, I think I would be spending some time recreating that
workbook--someday, you may not be able to even open that workbook (or maybe
it'll just stay the way it is???).

Anyway...

Lots of people have praised OpenOffice.org for saving their data and code.
Maybe it'll save some of your images.

There are commercial recovery services. I've never used it, but you might want
to check into:

And sometimes newer versions of excel can open files that older versions can't.
(And sometimes just different versions may work, too!)

Excel 97 SR2 on Win98 SE.

I run into this error message periodically. This doesn't occur on any
particular file(s). If it happens when I open the file manually, it's
really just a nuisance. Dismissing the MessageBox a few times will
overcome the problem most of the time.

However, when I am running routines using the OnTime method (about
eight hours worth), it really gums up the works, because everything
grinds to a halt.

Is there any way to trap this error?

Many TIA
