I'm using Excel 97 and Windows XP Home. I have a 1.3MB Excel file with
a fair amount of VBA that I use almost every day. Today I found that
Excel crashes when opening this file. I managed eventually to load it
in safe mode without running any macros in order to recover the recent
data, which I have patched into a slightly older version, which is
working fine.
Now I find that I can't even open the original file in safe mode. If I
try to disable macros, it says that it's got an Excel 4.0 macro which it
can't disable. (Could that be a combo box from the Forms toolbar? I
can't think how else I could have such a macro.) Then I get the "Excel
has encountered a problem and has to close" message.
I'm assuming that I must have inadvertently tweaked the VBA code in some
way which is causing Excel to crash. Is there any way of looking at the
VBA code in this file?
