Opening File Issue?

[Ken]

Excel2003 ... 90 Work Sheets ... Each 100 Cols x 120 Rows & 20 Macro Buttons
.... File size 140mg ... (assume file size due to Macro Buttons?) ... File
works fine.

Issue ... I saved File to USB Flash Drive to work from Home (Excel 2002) ...
Usually, I can do this. However, my home Excel is returning the following
messages when I attempt to open this File.

1: OPENING ... Excel does not have enough resources to Open File ... Either
choose less data or close other Apps (note: I have no other Apps running)
.... OK Button

2: REPAIRING ... Same message

3: EXTRACTING ... Same message

4: File not opened

Error messages may not be letter for letter, but I am certain those of you
intimate with Excel will recognize what is happening here. Is it Excel2003
vs Excel2002, File Size (140mg) ... or other???

Thanks ... Kha

It's always advisable to *COPY* XL files *to* and *from* your transporting
media!

Then, open and work on the files from your computers hard drive.

*DO NOT OPEN* the XL file in the transporting media.

This may work on occasion when the file is small and the media is very large
(nothing to do with the capacity of the media).

Working with files while on the media may even corrupt the XL files.

Use your media strictly for transportation purposes.

Sorry for double post (05/30 & 05/31) ... 05/30 I received 2 error messages
when attempting to post ... Service Temporarily Not Available ... then a
similar message about Post not being Delivered Operations notified. So 05/31
I posted to this board again without realizing 1 of previous post was
actually successfull ...

Above said ... I did the copy to hard-drive, but only after I attempted to
OPEN from USB Flash ... I was thinking "OPEN then SAVE to hard-drive" ... I
should have been thinking "COPY to hard-drive then OPEN". This process still
unsuccessfull, but by now I may have corrupted file on Flash or I may have
even pulled Flash out to quickly when copying original file to it??? ... I am
learning ...

Thanks for your support to these boards ... Kha
