Hey there,

Any one ever find the Excel(sometimes powerpoint) will crash, generating an
error report, just as you attempt to close the application?

If so any fixes?
I have reinstalled the package twice now and done all updates.

Thanks

I don't use PPT enough to offer an opinion on that, but one of the things that
excel does when you close the application is to update the *.xlb toolbar file.

If that file is corrupt (or on the verge of corruptedness (whatever that
means)), then this could be the problem.

Close excel
Use windows search and look for *.xlb (location and name will vary with the
versions of windows and excel you used).

Rename that *.xlb file to *.xlbOLD

restart excel and test it out a bit.

This does mean that you'll have to recreate any customized changes to your
toolbars, though.

If it doesn't help, delete any newly created *.xlb files and rename the *.xlbOLD
back to *.xlb.
