Excel.exe-Application Error

[MrEd]

Hi guys and gals. Has any of you running Excel had this problem. I'm thinking bad ram module. Error as follows:

The instruction at "0x30210d61" referenced memory at "0x6e49206l". The memory could not be "written".

Click on OK to terminate the application
Click on CANCEL to debug the application

This is on a SUNSPARC unix workstation while running WindowsNT. It's only happening when I try to open a link to a certain file. It was working this morning.

Thanks in advance.

MrEd ~ What type of file were you trying to open?

Do you have outdated or more than one copy SHELL.DLL or COMMDLG.DLL

socalgal- It's a Microsoft Excel file (.xls)
What it is, is this. I have one main spreadsheet that compiles information from 10 other spreadsheets. When I load them one at a time, (which is another story altogether) and get to a certain one, I get this error. Since I'm at work, I just log out, and log back in picking up a different server. The drive the files are on are on a specific server, which is where i think the problem is originating from. When I log into this other server, instead of getting this error message, It just locks up. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/frown.gif Do you have any Ideas about this. Like I said, I think it's the RAM, but not 100% sure.

are you autoformatting that spreadsheet? try here.. support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q159/8/63.asp (http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q159/8/63.asp)

I'm sorry you had to type so much, but those don't apply here. The cells are actually grouped into ten sections, each section having a spreadsheet formula reference, and arrayed. Sorry, no autoformating here. Thanks, I havn't found anything yet either.

MrEd ~ so sorry, I have to leave. Wish I could have helped. Keep us posted and if you can't find what's wrong, I'll try some other resources.

Good Luck!

[MrEd]

That's okay.
I couldn't find a thing. I'll just let sysadmin take care of it. I was just trying to alleviate some of thier burden. I put a ticket number in for them to look at it. Thanks for the help.
