Save As with particular file crashes Excel

[Eric Ullman]

Hi all,

I'm looking for suggestions regarding a Mac Excel crash that I get with a
specific Excel workbook file. I am running Mac OS 10.4.8 and Excel 11.2.5.
Also occurred under 10.4.7, and another user reports the same behavior under
10.3.9.

I can Save the file normally, but selecting Save As causes Excel to crash
after selecting the destination and clicking the Save button.

Below is the data from the Error Report log, up through the Thread 0
details. I can provide the rest if it helps.

Thanks in advance.

Eric

[JE McGimpsey]

I'm looking for suggestions regarding a Mac Excel crash that I get with a
specific Excel workbook file. I am running Mac OS 10.4.8 and Excel 11.2.5.
Also occurred under 10.4.7, and another user reports the same behavior under
10.3.9.

I can Save the file normally, but selecting Save As causes Excel to crash
after selecting the destination and clicking the Save button.

Below is the data from the Error Report log, up through the Thread 0
details. I can provide the rest if it helps.

Since it's only a specific file, it's most likely file corruption. The
crash log probably won't be meaningful without the file and a lot of
system information.

Try copying the workbook to a fresh workbook. This is best done by
selecting each sheet of the old workbook, selecting the contents using
CMD-a, typing CMD-c, switching to a blank worksheet in the new workbook
and pasting (CMD-v), rather than using Edit/Move or Copy Sheet (which
can copy the corruption along with the sheet).

This can require some manual clean-up, especially if there are linked
formulas between sheets.
