Excel Memory Saving Issues

Whenever updating one of our budget files (which is
attached to consolidation files), it will ask me if I want
to "save changes"? (yes or no)

I will click on yes and a box says "not enought memory
(with a box to click okay)"

It will then say unable to save external link values and
it appears to be going ahead and saving the file.

Is there anyway to have enough memory? Should I be
concerned with data integrity?
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
 
Hi Robert,
If you are trying to save to a removable medium and
Excel won't let you then consider yourself lucky. Save the
file to your hard drive. I don't know if this is your problem or not,
but Excel must be able to store one additional copy of the file.
When finished Excel will rename the new file and delete the previously
renamed original file. And that is if there were no problems earlier.

Microsoft recommends against saving from Excel to removable
medium. The media could be removed, and it much more prone to
errors than your hard drive.

Read more on my backup page, if you ever think about saving
to a diskette from Excel, because it is extremely risky.
