Hi Niko,
I'm sorry you're experiencing this problem. It sounds serious. However, I
don't think this is the same problem as others have re****ted in this
thread.
Although I understand that you can't share the affected workbook as it is,
I
wonder if you might be able to strip out any confidential information (by
changing numbers or text), then save it out with a new name and send it to
me (patmcmil@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
). If it's a big workbook (say with lots of
sheets
or data in lots of cells), you might try deleting one sheet at a time,
then
saving, and seeing if the problem still occurs. The smallest file that we
can get from you that still causes the problem, the better.
Please let me know if you would be able to do that. I'd love to get to the
bottom of this.
Pat
