Re: Excel - Insufficient Memory, Freezing Up, Slow Recalculations

Pat,

I have twice attempted sending a small spreadsheet as a reply to your
emails and have then received a Delivery Status Notification (Failure).
Should I be using a different reply e-mail address?

The problem is happening with both .xls and .xlsx and with both
spreadsheets linked and not linked to other spreadsheets. At one point in
creating the very small (unlinked) spreadsheet that I was trying to send to
you, I got an insufficient memory warning and lost all work since the
previous Save command.

A much larger, multilayered spreadsheet containing confidential cash flow
information was originally developed and ran perfectly on a G5 using Excel
2004. After moving this model to the MacPro with Excel 2008 and saving
under both .xls and .xlsx, I have experienced insufficient memory warnings
and loss of all input since a prior Save. I have also noticed a
recalculation lag reminiscent of the 1980s.
