It is a simple form which has a Module/Macro to load the form on clicking a shape.
Although the form works fine for me it occasionally crashes for other user.
The Debug says that there is an error in the Module with the line "frmCallData.Show".
Below is the Code for the form and also the Module: ....
I worked really hard on this userform for a work project - my first and likely last attempt at coding!
It used to work, and then I changed a bunch of listboxes to comboboxes, and now my file gives the 'Excel has encountered a problem and needs to close' error - but ONLY when I'm working directly with the excel file and NOT when I've got VBA open.
Compiling shows no problems - I have no idea what to do because this is a very important file for work and I am a very inexperienced coder! ...
My excel file triggers excel to crash after clicking the only button on my worksheet. The button displays a userform.
However; this does not always happen. It actually drives me crazy as I don't find the solution to my problem. My company were I work upgraded my Excel 2003 SP2 to Excel 2003 SP3 which seemed to help but now the same problem returned...
I found a temporarily workaround though; when saving the file first (right after I opened it) it doesn�t crash when showing the userform. Very strange (to me).

i have a user form which is activated by a button. when this button is clicked excel crashs every now and then. i get an error message run time error 75, could not find object. it asks me to debug or end. whatever option i choose when i try to save the worksheet there after excel crashs and closes. any body else have this problem, what could be the cause?

When loading my workbook, my userform loads perfect, but when I go to hit the "next" button. It crashes with the error:

I have the following code which filters data in a sheet, and loads the numbers into textboxes on a userform. There are two multipage controls, each with several textboxes on them. I have commented out several lines because if I leave any of them in, it crashes excel.
It will work once. But if I close the workbook, re-open it, and run the code again, it crashes.
The thing I find really interesting is that all the 'problem lines' were added in as part of a retro-fit. The person I created this workbook for needed one more column of data. I followed the same programming pattern as what I used on the other, but only these ones seem to cause problems. Any thoughts?
NOTE: The message boxes were just to help me figure out which lines of code were causing the crash. ....

I'm trying to use a listbox and wanted to have the data sit in a different sheet. When I do this, I get a message about low memory and then excel says it has an error and shuts down. When I move the data to the same sheet as the listbox, there is no problem.
I'm using excel 2000 and that's all I can get (at work). Any thoughts? Should I just put the data on the same sheet and hide it? Is there a way around this?
Just recently Excel crashes about 4 out of 5 times. Any advice to where I should start looking and how to handle this please?

I wrote some VBA code detailed here. Is there any Excel Crash log I can look at? I have tested it on three computers. It worked on my computer just fine, but when testing it on the two other users of this spreadsheet it crashes when they click the mouse on a list box after about 5 to 10 clicks.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have the following code that (should) either save the file with a generic name if a value exists in a certain field, or else save the file as the contents of the value in the field, with a message box appearing in either case. The problem is, the message box appears twice (not once) and then Excel crashes! Can anyone tell me what's going on? The code is:

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.
I have a column of data that is an 850,000+ list of phone numbers. I need to peridoically insert another 10,000+ at a time and see if there are duplicates. Using conditional formatting to highlight the duplicates with a colored cell, and then sorting those records to the top is what I want to do, but it's too much for Excel to handle, and it hangs. It looks like I need to break up the 850k records into smaller chunks. Anyone know what an average pc with Excel 07 can handle? It's a 2.8ghz w/2gb ram.

I'm trying to close out excel through a user form (excel is hidden) button but excel crashes when it reaches the application.quit line of code.

I open Excel. I click Insert-> Comment. Excel crashes. I try to open an excel file with comments, Excel crashes. I have already uninstalled and reinstalled, Detected & Repaired. Nothing appears in the event viewer. I am at my wits end.
Any ideas on what this could be? My only guess is a windows issue vs. an excel issue, but I thought I'd at least ask.
I have written a fairly large spread sheet, and I have consistently had excel crashes when the first form initialises at startup.
However if I resave the workbook over itself or sometimes as another name it will then work. Once it works - it will always work while I dont restart my computer. The next day the same workbook will crash on form startup. Once this happens t always crashes on startup. If it works OK first up it always works. However if I edit it the process may happen all over again. I am 100% their is no error in the code as in certain stages it has worked for months. It seams like some bug in excel?
Has anyone ever had this issue?

I'm having a problem with Vlookup locking up excel everytime it tries to call a userform. If I rem either the .show lines or the entire Vlookup loop it works. I suspected it was the exit handler but that doesn't seem to be the case.

It's probably something really simple that I overlooked. Any suggestions would be welcome. Newvendin is a multi-input textbox and frmcalendar is a calendar....
View 6 Replies View RelatedThree 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.
My system is Vista Ultimate with Office 2007. I use Norton Internet Security 2007 with Microsoft Office Automatic Scan disabled.
For many years I have used a spreadsheet which links to an external data source - eSignal. eSignal provides real time updates to the spreadsheet.
The problem occurs after I click the link to enable automatic update of links.
About 2 out of 3 times when I load this spreadsheet Excel has a problem with indigestion and closes.
Here is the problem report:

Does anyone have any idea how this error can be avoided? (Even with a clumsy workaround?)
I have a report I produce where I take an XML file, sort it and run some simple formulas then sort another way and run a few more formulas then update a pivot table. The XML files I'm using have the same headers but vary in length. When I set the macro up for a particular XML file everything works fine. When I import another one (different size) I get the error message:
Run-time error ‘1004’:
Sort method of Range class failed
When I look at the code I see that the range is fixed to the XML file I used when setting the macro up. Is there a way to auto-select the table in the macro so I can run the same macro on any size XML?
I'm still using XL2003 (Heck, they JUST upgraded from 2002 last year! So at this rate, I'll probably get 2007 here in the office by 2012).
I have a few named ranges that use Indirect & Count functions to auto-adjust the range to the last row. Something like this.
Name: ProjectID
Range: Sheet1!$A:INDIRECT("$A$"&COUNT($A:$A))
When I try to include the named range in a sumproduct statement, it crashes XL the moment I type the evaluative sign (< = >) within the 2nd bracket. Like this:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(ProjectID>2500))
(The actual formula works on several other columns of data. I'm citing a simple example, which also crashes my XL.)
Is that my installation causing the error or something wacko in XL? Please try and write back.
