I have what seems to be a strange excel file opening issue that I can't
pinpoint and I would greatly appreciate any ideas to try for this problem.
We have a network computer running windows 98 SE. On this computer there
are many .xls files stored for users to access. Often when opening the
files users get an error that reads: Microsoft Excel cannot open or save any
more documents because there is not enough available memory or disk
pace. -To make more memory available, close workbooks or programs you no
longer need. -To free disk space, delete files you no longer need from the
disk you are saving to. The only option is to click OK, then excel is open
with no worksheets.
Here is what I know:
1. The problem is intermittent, although seems to happen more often
than not.
2. Only seems to happen on certain PCs, all running windows 2000, but
not all windwos 2000 PCs have the problem.
3. The PCs that this problem seems to happen with are the ones that
access these spreadsheets the most.
4. There is no problem if the files are opened by going to file, open
within excel.
5. Everything mentioned in the error message is not a problem on either
the users pc or the network one.
6. Most of the PCs that have the problem were upgraded from windows 98
and according to users the problem started after the upgrade (before my time
here). But not all of the PCs with the problem were upgrades, nor do all
that were upgraded have problems.
That is all I can think of for now. Again, any help would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks.
