I wanted to test the feature of the windows scheduler if an excel program
runs too long that it will be shut down by windows. So I just scheduled an
existing excel book to be opened that was basically empty and just let it sit
open until the scheduler timed out.

Windows did shut excel down but a few seconds later excel popped up a window
indicating it had been shut down and wanted to send a report to microsoft.

This seems to only occur on the first time after the PC is started but is
there a way to turn this "feature" off" ?

thanks

You have some options along this line at;

Control Panel|System|Advanced|Error Reporting

fyi... I tried disabling the error reporting as suggested but I still get the
errror report dialog windows popping up.

I tried adding execel.exe to the do not report list and then I tried
disabling all windows error reporting. Neither helped.

This isn't a huge problem as my program dows not run too long but I wasjust
interested in completeness of coding.
