Excel 2003 Crashing - Pls.Help!

[Delbert]

I dont know if someone could help me out with this issue: multiple
users here have this same problem that whenever they open a particular Excel
file, it
gives them a "Send Report Error." Weird thing about it is it doesnt happen
in all their Excel files, only happens to some of them. Also tried opening
the
very same file/s they are having problems with on my machine and it worked
fine.

Details:
Files are saved in a network folder
Files are under 50MB size (varies)
Files have Macros imbedded
Files have links

I have patched Office (SP2), updated Acrobat Reader, updated signatures,
uninstalled/reinstalled Office, and
done all the possible troubleshooting on these machines but still error
occurs. Also tried the following links but didnt resolve my issue:

don't quote me on this ... but it sounds like your files could be
corrupt. you may want to make a copy of it and then try opening the
copied version. you also may want to try to reboot .. sometimes that
magically fixes things .. if you've tried both of these .. i'm sorry i
couldn't help.
good luck!

Thanks for you input. Yes as a matter of fact, I tried copying this very
same file and saved it with a different file name. It works fine this way.
Also rebooted the system multiple times - but that didnt rectify the issue.

One thing that's throwing me off is other people can open those so called
"corrupt" files on their computers with no problems.
