Crashes When Saving Workbook...
Jun 8, 2009
As I've learned to develop Excel apps with vba over the years I've noticed that, if the Excel app starts to get too large (over 1MB) saving it will often cause the application to crash for no apparent reason - the result being that I lose all the vba code I entered before the last save - with the worst case being that, on occasion I have lost all of the vba code in an applications!!!
So, I've learned to back up often using a third-party utility that I use to save my applications, which works wonders in allowing me to save my application without it crashing. The application is called Code Cleaner 97.exe. It was designed around Excel 97 (which I still use) but if possible I'd like to get an updated version for Excel 2003 and Excel 2007, which I also use.
Does anyone know of a more recent version of this utility, or another similar utility that allows large Excel applications to be properly saved, etc?
Code Cleaner 97.exe was a freebie that was available through one of the old Compuserve Excel forums. It was a very popular utility and was suggested as a means to save one's Excel apps without the app getting trashed, etc.
I'm not expecting a freebie solution so I'll gladly pay for something that allows me to save my large Excel apps without them crashing, etc.

Hi all, I've reinstalled office 2007 because excel 2007 was crashing very often when inserting new rows or when saving the file. I tried with other files and apparently work fine. The specific file can be opened but I don't know if is corrupted, I tried repairing it with open and repair from the file open menu but didn't work (it is still happening the same). I've been working on the file during few days and wouldn't like to start from scrath again, can anyone help me with this?

I’m launching a new workbook, exporting some stuff, basically creating a report. But then I want to add a BeforePrint event to the new worksheet. Both of the macro below works great right up until I change “Sheet1” to “ThisWorkBook”…then Excel crashes.
Sub AddCode1()
Dim VBCodeMod As CodeModule
Dim LineNum As Long
Dim Copybook As Workbook
Set Copybook = Excel.Workbooks.Add
Set VBCodeMod = Copybook.VBProject.VBComponents("sheet1").CodeModule
LineNum = VBCodeMod.CountOfLines + 1
VBCodeMod.InsertLines LineNum, "Private Sub Workbook_BeforePrint(Cancel As Boolean)" & Chr(13) & "if ActiveSheet.CodeName <> ""Sheet1"" or ActiveSheet.CodeName <> ""Sheet2"" or ActiveSheet.CodeName <> ""Sheet3"" then" & Chr(13) & "MsgBox(""This Electronic Outcome Review Summary Report is NOT optimized for Printing......................................

Three times (by three different users) over the past two months, a workbook has gotten into what appears to be some sort of corrupted state. When you attempt to open the workbook you get the "report to Microsoft" screen which states "Microsoft Excel has encountered a problem and needs to close". Proceeding on this screen closes the entire instance of Excel, including the offending workbook and any others that are open. However, if I simply open and save the workbook in Excel safe mode, then it resolves the problem. But, again, it has happened three times so it keeps coming back.
A little more background: there is a custom add-in referenced which contains many custom functions. This add-in is also referenced by other workbooks, none of which have had this problem. The Workbook_Open event only does what I consider to be superficial processing; it hides some sheets, selects a sheet, defaults some shape colors, and defaults a checkbox to True. In other words, nothing too heavy going on at startup, in my opinion. I have tried several times to break into the code between the time the workbook begins to load and when the "report to Microsoft" screen is displayed, but this was unsuccessful.
I was hoping that the fact that simply saving it from safe mode resolves the problem might indicate the problem to someone on the forum. I have a copy of the file in its corrupted state but I have not attached it because it contains some business sensitive information.

I use spinbuttons to increment 3 data cells (C7:C9). These cells are used as entry data for some calculations and also trigger some macros via change event. Every time I use them the workbook crashes, this is only since I modified one of the instantiated macros that sorts a table on another sheet. See below the spinbutton code with the call of the macro and further the code of the sorting macro:
Private Sub SpinButton1_SpinDown()
Range("C7").Value = Range("C7").Value - 0.05
End Sub
Private Sub SpinButton1_SpinUp()
Range("C7").Value = Range("C7").Value + 0.05
End Sub
Private Sub SpinButton2_SpinDown()
Range("C8").Value = Range("C8").Value - 0.05
End Sub......................................................

I'm writing an application in Excel, its a little over 5MB after I've run through UsedRegion and trimmed stuff, 94 worksheets. I'm encountering a fair number of crashes these days. My OS is fully patched as is MS Office. Running Windows server 2003 and Excel 2007.
I was wondering about the pros and cons of writing an application in one large workbook or many smaller ones. So far its been one large one but these crashes are really impeding my progress.
What's the best way to remedy these crashes or even start to diagnose?

I have the following strange problem. A simple macro 'ActiveWorkbook.Close' causes excel to crash if I use it with a button on my sheet (a form). When I run the macro via developer > macros > run
the macro runs as expected. Even if a run the macro with alerts (thanks to jproffer) the problem persist.

The code below resides in my personal.XLS Module. When I step through the code everything works till it reaches the point in red then I get the pop up that says excel needs to close and asks to send or not to send.
I noticed that if I choose recover my work and restart excel and I look at the code in THISWORKBOOK of the recovered workbook that the code I wanted placed there is there.
Can anyone explain why this is happening? I have the macro's security set to low and a check mark in the trust access to vb projects.
Any Idea's how to fix this?

i have a workbook blank template for my colleagues to fill in, they fill in this blank template and save it under the serial number of the item they are creating. However a lot of errors exist when they input the serial number inside the workbook where the serial number is a duplicate of a former serial number.
Anyhow i was wondering is there any way when they input the serial number into the worksheet that i could get it to save in a separate workbook and then have conditional formatting to check those serial numbers in the workbook to see if they match?

I will shortly be running a project over a twenty four hour period, where a group of people will be inputting data into a workbook (one worksheet per hour), and what I would like to know is if it is possible, to input some coding into a thisWorkbook module to action a save on the workbook every time an entry is placed in column A (of each worksheet) which is divisable by 10 (a10, a20, a30 etc).

I have an Excel doc with ~20 tabs. Each type represents 1 type of activities (soccer, tennis, etc). The size of the file (with the 20 tabs) is pretty significant (>1mb), which jams our email traffic.
Is it possible to:
- keep this workbook with the 20 tabs when open by the user;
- let the user select and fill in whatever tab he needs (just one at a time);
- have a button for the user to click that will save only this tab with a different filename (therefore, when sent by email, the file should be pretty small).

How do I get a shared workbook to automatically save upon every change by each user. The only way I can get this to work (at this point) is to run a macro that updates every 45 seconds IN EACH WORKBOOK! It's counterintuitive because the workbook is shared (on a network), but each user must start the "time" macro in their "individual" SHARED workbook to allow the automatic saving.
What am I missing? There has to be a more efficient way to do this, right?
Code below
HTML Sub Time()
Call Save
Application.OnTime Now + TimeValue("00:00:45"), "Time"
End Sub
HTML Sub Save()
ActiveWorkbook.Save
End Sub

I'm wondering if it is possible to prevent a user saving a workbook. If opened as a read-only, excel throws up an option to save with an alternative name. I'm wondering if I can put some code in the Workbook_BeforeSave event that prevents saving of the document unless the application.username is myself.

I have my Excel workbook open & have made changes. Now I close it and Excel prompts me if I want to save the changes. Is there a way to just close the workbook and automatically accept any changes without have the "Do you want to save changes" message appear?
What about if it is opened in read-only mode? Typically the workbook will not save any changes unless you save it off as another file name. If there is a solution to my question above, can it be enabled only when the workbook is opened in edit mode, or will it not auto-save changes over the file because Excel knows it was opened in read-only mode?

I have a need to simply rename a workbook without saving. I have a master template named "IR QT" but, within the workbook, I run a macro that saves the file with content from a cell as the filename. After the 'Save' macro is executed, the sheet stays open, as planned, but obviously the file has been renamed. What I would like to happen at the end of the 'Save' macro is for the sheet to be renamed (not re-saved) to "IR QT". I just need the VBA code to put at the end of the 'Save' macro to do the rename back to "IR QT".
