Hi

I recently upgraded a Workbbook that have been using for a vey long time without a problem

The new workbook however when i open it excel crashes giving me the standard excel has performed an illegal operation box with a tick box to save and buttons to report or not to MS :tazz:

I have tried opening through fresh excel by both repair and normal, tried in Excel safe mode (excel /s) also tried disabling Norton (both office plugin and whole program)

The workbook however will open in MS XLviewer but as you cannot do anything with it then its pointless
