The object invoked has disconnected from its clients

[Don]

I am copying sheets in a macro...
Copy a sheet, rename the copy, copy the sheet again, and
rename the copy again...

Usually on the third copy, I get the following error
message:

Run-time error '-2147417848 (80010108)':
Automation error
The object invoked has disconnected from its clients

If I then try to do a manual copy, Excel crashes and sends
a Dump to Microsoft. (Which I don't believe they do
anything with...)

If I start again from scratch and do the copies manually,
then on the
third time, Excel crashes and sends a Dump to Microsoft.

I was thinking I was running out of resources, so I
deleted a large number of sheets and reduced the size of
the workbook by 60%, but the problem still occurs every
time.


Any ideas gratefully received.

I have found that the presence of any Picture in the
workbook, with any Macro Assigned to the picture causes
this problem without fail.

I delete the Mactro Assigned Picture, leaving many other
pictures, and the third copy works fine.

Micros**t strikes again!
