Dear Networld,
I remember not too long ago a thread on Excel crashing with a
new system. I cannot go back that far in our news record, so
could someone please email me what the proposed solution was?
Our user can run Excel, type in cells, do formulas, use menu
commands from the keyboard (command-o to open) but as soon as
she clicks in the menubar **on any of the Excel menu** but not
the Apple menu or the Multifinder menu it immediately quits.
This happens with all of her inits loaded as well as on a newly
formatted hard disk with system 6.0.5 and only Excel, nothing
else!! What is the problem here?
Any help at all is appreciated.
Send mail to mikef@samba.acs.unc.edu
or to mikef@next1.mscre.unc.edu
Love and Peace
