I have an Excel file of 5 MB. when I copy data from it to new file and want
to save that new file a message occurs like this:

"Excel cannot complete this task with available resources. Choose less data
or close other applications."

and excel do not save that file. how can I avoid this and can use multiple
files at same time.
I use that file on Excel 2003 and XP. System description is 1.7 Ghz, 496 MB
RAM, sytem is on a network.

expert suggestions will be appreciated.

Hi,
Actually I having the same problem, you can try to add in more RAM.
Hope this will solve your problem, but I have try to increase my RAM but it
doesn't work on my case.
