Hi Outi--
Usually I'll tackle Office app problems no matter how out of place they are.
We see them on the setup group all the time,and I've never understoood what
the hell they have to do with Vista setup other than the poster doesn't
think to search for the appropriate Office app group. It's faster to answer
the question than read the bitching lol in the vein "quit trying to regulate
the newsgroups" when the idiots don't understand that you're trying to get
the best quality help for them in the subspecialty group. It reminds me of
a male going to an OBGYN for help (lol again).
But this isn't a Vista problem per se, and I'd be doing some googling to
find out and searching through the
http://support.microsoft.com KB articles.
If you can give me a very specific error message from Event Viewer or what
you saw, I'll take a swing, but why not post this on the Excel group?
Also since it's Office 2003, you can use Help>Detect and Repair to try to
fix this.
If you're accessing via Win Mail, it's the microsoft.public.excel group and
you can subscribe by simply typing "excel" in the group search. It's full
of Excel MVPs and experts who are there every day.
You access event viewer by typing "eventvwr.msc" in run (lose quotes)>expand
Windows events on the left pain>Application and arrow down to the time the
error happened or any events labled Excel.
Good luck,
CH
