Memory problems in Excel 2003

I have a workbook developed in 2002. Recently we have upgraded to 2003, and
every time the workbook is opened the error "Microsoft Office has encountered
a problem and needs to close", and will not open. The same file still
continues to open in 2002.

Deleting 2 sheets (any 2 sheets) from the 18 present allows the workbook to
open in Excel 2003.

Is there anyway to work around this problem (the file is only 1.8Mb in size)?

Have you tried repairing your workbook?

i would reccomend uninstalling excel from every machine at your company
and leaving it off every machine in the company.

excel is a disease.

Anne,

Following the options in this link enables me to open the workbook and use
it properly. However, I have to always use this route (not very practical). I
have tried re-saving it once I've got it working, but the same problems occur
when re-opening it.

Any further help would be much appreciated.

Richard

Hi, Richard. Sorry I wasn't around sooner. I'm happy to take a look at your
workbook if you like, but I'm not sure how else I could help without it.
