Excel closes when trying to update links
I have migrated excel sheets from my old laptop Excel 2003 and Windows XP
professionel to too new laptops with Vista Home Student and Excel 2007. On one new laptop everything works fine on the other one excel shuts down when I try to update links between different files. I cannot find anything in poperties which is different. What did I do wrong? -- Peter |

When you say Excel "shuts down", does it say anything before it goes?
First thing to try would be a detect and repair of Excel on that machine. Bill Manville MVP - Microsoft Excel, Oxford, England No email replies please - respond to newsgroup |

Dear Bill,
thank you for your reply. It does not say anything. Windows wiglet comes up informing that it is looking for a solution and is trying to recuperate. But the problem remains. I have tried first repair, then uninstall and reinstall of office Home Student to no avail. I am using on this laptop a Spanish version of Vista because I bought it in Madrid the Office Home Student however is a German version. On the other laptop where I have no problems I am using a German Vista version Could this be the problem and when how to fix it? -- Peter "Bill Manville" wrote: When you say Excel "shuts down", does it say anything before it goes?

Thank you anyway

In Windows XP if an application faults there is a window with a Send Error Report button on it; it has a link to another dialog which shows details of the error; that dialog can sometimes give a clue as to the location of the error - excel.exe, vbe6.dll, some other system component - which can sometimes help towards a solution. I would hesitate to suggest replacing Spanish Vista with German Vista, but it might just save you time in the long run?
