    Maximum File Size

    i have an excel file size 18mb which i was working on this after noon, i now come home this arvo and open it and its telling me the excel file can not be opened

    It gives me the error
    [filename] cannot be accessed. The file may be read only or you may be trying to acess a read-only location. Or, the server the document is stored on may not be responding.

    all my other excel spreadsheets work on the desktop and i placed it directly on c drive and it game me the same msg...

    any ideas???

    I have read one site...... here it is,
    that may or may not be your problem, but it does make sense.

    no that one didnt work

    it seems to be a dodgy link i think inside the file... is there a way to turn off external links in the file with out opening the file???

    cheers

    ok ive cracked it

    it now seems that all of my largish excel spreadsheets are now not working...

    it seems to only take effect when i restart the computer though, i opened and closed one i created 2night about 5 times before shutting down and it worked...

    i then uninstalled and reinstalled office, restarted and now its not working...

    ive really really lost it so any ideas would be great... could this potentially be a virus??
