I get the following error message when attempting to open up certain Excel
files ... Microsoft Office Excel has encountered a problem and needs to
close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Could be anything.
I'd suggest, as a starting point, you ask yourself;
Is there anything that the problem workbooks have in common that differentiate them from
other wb's that aren't a problem?
Addins, directories, macro's, how are they being opened (from within xl or directly) etc
etc.

Only difference that I see - is when I run the Stored Procedure to populate
the object that will create the Excel document. The one file that will open
returns back 5965 rows and the one that fails has 6060 rows. Is there a row
limitation on Excel ?

There is a row limitation but you're far from it (65,536 rows, 256 columns)

How are you opening it?

I'm just doubleclicking the file. That's all - no other ways of opening up
the file. The Excel file is being created with Formula 1's Active X Control.
