( have read related links - tried all and still not solved)
I receive this message at what appears random times in Excel when opening existing or even just a new workbook. There appears to be no common cause - i.e. I may have only 1 sheet open or several open. I may have 10 open and receive no error message, all is fine (rare). Another day like today, I have 1 small in size workbook open, try to open a new one and I cant.
When the problem occurs, Excel displays the error message. After clicking "OK", the only option in the error window, Excel opens a blank Excel window. Sometimes, the error message reappears, click OK and this process can loop several times.
The only cure appears to be to close Excel down fully, then re open. Then you can open a new workbook. BUT then you have to open the other workbooks you had on your desktop. This is a real pain when your work involves having multiple spread sheets open.
Didn't have this problem ever in the Windows XP days!!!!
I have tried deleting files in "C:\Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Excel" read from a previous thread....no effect!
Any ideas?????
