opening excel file > 16Mbytes

[rob vandebergh]

Trying to open an excel file with size > 16Mbytes is not succesful in
ExcelXP (winXP), but is succesful in Excel2000 (Win2000).
If I delete one worksheet, on Excel 2000, save and move to ExcelXP, I am
able to open and to modify. As soon as I add one worksheet (even an empty
one), I cannot re-open the file on the ExcelXP.
The error message: serious problem, please send report to Microsoft. Even
so, nothing happens.
I am using a number of charts, links, colors, but all within the
specification of excelXP.

Any Help?

When you "click here" for more details, what does the error signature
contain?

From the outset, it sounds like you may have a damaged workbook. Consider
round-tripping to Excel 5/95 format.
