Excel 2000

[cheb]

User had a spreadsheet open and had pasted data from
another spreadsheet and added some worksheets - had been
working for 3 hours and had not saved......error message
Excel.exe has generated errors and will be closed by
Windows. And then it closes. Any ideas why this
happened? It is a new system plenty of memory, and hard
drive space....service pack 3 has been installed.....would
appreciate any input.....want to know what caused it so I
can try to prevent it from happening again.

Thanks so much.

Hi Cheb,

had been
working for 3 hours and had not saved......error message

Windows. And then it closes. Any ideas why this

drive space....service pack 3 has been installed.....would

Sounds like a workbook corruption to me.
I know no way of preventing stuff like this, only a way of preventing
loss of too much work. Download my Autosafe from my website below. It
would have saved about 2:50 hours of your work.
