Excel crashes when opening file
I have a vital file which has begun to cause Excel to crash when I attempt to
open it. I made a change to a links source before this so I suspect this is a cause of the problem. Is there a way to word the "Workbooks.Open..." cose to open in "safe" mode? -- Best wishes, Jim |

there is no safe mode, but you can specify not to update links.

Excel crashes when opening file
Thanks, Tom. That didn't work either. I finally copied the file and pasted,
changing "xls" to "csv", opened it and saved as "xls". All this happened in concert with some Server problems I was having and the resolution of tnose so it is possible the two were related. -- Best wishes, Jim "Tom Ogilvy" wrote: there is no safe mode, but you can specify not to update links. workbooks.open filename, UpdateLinks:=0 -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Jim Jackson" wrote: I have a vital file which has begun to cause Excel to crash when I attempt to open it.

Well, if it was actually a CSV file, then it can't contain links.

True, but the easiest part is the re-establishment of links after recovering
the file and vital data. :) Now if I could just get my home ISP to be more dependable. :( -- Best wishes, Jim "Tom Ogilvy" wrote: Well, if it was actually a CSV file, then it can't contain links. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Jim Jackson" wrote in message ...
