Excel Crash and/or Gray Area on Screen
sometimes when running code I get a situation where either excel crashes and
a portion of the display area is turns gray (about 20%-30% of the viewing area top to bottom of the screen but not he tool bars) or with a crash the area turns gray. It is always on the left side of the screen. The only fix is to close and reopen excel. Is there a know cause / fix? Thank you |
Excel Crash and/or Gray Area on Screen
Hi,
Don't know about causes but my quick fix when it happened to me was to create a macro: Sub ResetDefaults Application.Screenupdating = True End Sub and to assign a custom button to this on the toolbar. Then when you get this problem you can run the macro & the screen will update again.

Sandy,
Any specific code that causes this ? Which code ? Or you mean running any code in general this happens ? Not normal, possibly video driver/system related.

Nick - no specific code, sometime no code at all. Happens on multiple systems.
Wish I knew what the cause is and how to fix / avoid it. "NickHK" wrote: Sandy, Any specific code that causes this ? Which code ? Or you mean running any code in general this happens ?

Sandy,
In that case, I doubt it's Excel related and more system/hardware related. NickHK "Sandy" wrote in message ... Nick - no specific code, sometime no code at all. Happens on multiple systems.
