Hi Friends,
I am not a very technical person and have gained a lot of acquaintance by
going through the answers of this forum. I am facing some trouble with my
data in excel. I have put a lot of comments and graphics in the comment boxes
in the worksheet. I work on excel at my office.I saved the data in a USB
memory stick apart from the desktop at my office computer. When I try to use
the memory stick at my home computer(excel 2003), a notepad pops up which
says there were many errors in the file and there could be a loss of data in
the process of repair . All the comment boxes have disappeared and ther are
no graphics visible. There is also a loss of numeric data. Also I tried to
put in some code to add picture in the comment boxes previously on my home
computer.When I try to open my worksheet at my office,there has always been
a macro box coming up which I usually disable. but at home the macro warning
box comes twice.What could be the probem.Is there any problem with my home
computer.would appreciate greatly any solution provided.
thanking everybody in advance

Not sure if this will help but if you open an excel workbook while it's on
the USB drive and work on it and save, that could explain errors, sometimes
it's not even possible to open the file. Always use the CD/flashdrive/floppie
just to copy to and transport excel files, then copy it over to the computer
and do the work there.

thanks very much mr peo sjoblom for the help,by the way I had lots of
hyperlinks on the worksheet .could that be also one of the causes for
generating error. The worksheet was about 3 MB.thats why I had to go for the
USB stick instead of the floppy and my office computer does not have a cd
burner installed. thanks a lot any how for the advice
