memory could not be read - Excel 2000

D

davemel

In one Excel spreadsheet (Excel 2000) we occasionally get a Excel.exe
Application error message - Instruction at "0x302b8dbf" referenced memory at
"0x00000030". The memory could not be read. Once we press OK the Excel
program "bombs" out. This happens on any PC that tries to access this file.
In the past we just restore the backup of this particular file from tape (i.e
one that works ok) but within a few weeks we get the same problem again. I
don't think there is anything special about this spreadsheet. Any ideas on
what could be causing this recurring problem.

Could be a macro causing the error or PC running short of memory. Try saving
more regularly, say every ten minutes.

If this works you can write an AUto_OPen macro to save the file every ten
minutes or so.
