Hello,

I understand when opening a file in Excel 2007, the error message "Excel
cannot complete this task with available resources. Choose less data or
close other applications" was encountered. It opens fine in Excel 2003.

This issue should be more related to the specific file. Could you please
let us know if the issue also occurred on other files?

I also perform some research on the error and it seems this issue may occur
when you open a workbook that contains cells that you filled with a
reference to a relative name in Excel 2007. We can refer to this KB:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928976

This error may be also related to PivotTable in Excel 2007

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/287080

I hope above information may be useful.
