Excel crashing...
 
Hello

I have an old excel file, which reads data from our DB. Old, ugly code
etc. The programme is unknown or dead.
It does something automatically, which I dont know, and then crashes,
and offers to send information to Micro$oft. There is some unreadable
debug info if you want.
It does not work on my computer and other computers, but on some it
does work.

I get different errors, mostly that it just crashes, or an error in
hidden sheet 2, or "function not available".

How can I unhide the sheet 2?

I have added "exit sub's" to everything possiblem and it still does
this.... what more can I do to find it????

Hello

I found the problem.
It seems like once the file has been trouhg office 2007, then it will
not work in any other excel version. It is not possible to save - from
any version - and make it work in previous versions of excel

meaning : once you convert to office 2007, then there is not way back.

conclusion: office 2007 sucks
