Excel bug?
I've been trying to narrow down a problem we've been experiencing with Excel,
and one of my colleagues has sent me the message included below. Are microsoft aware of this? And - triumph of hope over experience here - is there any chance of MS fixing this if they do? ----- I think Ive just moved this fault from us to Excel, which doesnt help the user much but means theres not much point us spending more time on this. I can create a crash in Excel 2002 SP3 on Win XP SP3 as follows: · Create a new workbook with three sheets. · On Sheet2, name any cell prop_recharge. · On Sheet1, enter +prop_recharge in any cell. · Open Visual Basic editor. · Make Sheet2 very hidden. · Save the workbook. I then get the same crash we were getting with the other files. If I do the same thing with the name proparecharge Excel doesnt crash. |

PatrickS,
I do not receive this error either. Are you/your team using any addins or COM addins? Perhaps that is the source of the issue? -- Thx MSweetG222 "PatrickS" wrote: I've been trying to narrow down a problem we've been experiencing with Excel, and one of my colleagues has sent me the message included below.
