I'm running Office 2000 on Windows 98 SE. I have a file
in Excel (name "claimfrm") which I've been using for a few
years. It's a form which contains no macros, nothing
special. This weekend when I tried to open the file, the
file would briefly open, then without any action from me
closed both the file and the application. I recreated the
file in Word as a table, then saved it as "Medical Claim
Form". Immediately after saving the file, again without
any prompting from me, the file closed followed
immediately by the application closing. I went into
Explorer and renamed the original Excel file as "form".
This time, it opened and stayed open. I then saved it
as "claim" and the file and application both closed
without any action from me. At no time did I get any
error messages. I tried rebooting, etc, to no avail.
Is there some file naming convention involving the use of
the string "claim" in a file name? If not, any thoughts?
