I get an error each time i exit from previewing a worksheet or sometimes when I am printing a worksheet that "Excel.exe has generated errors an will be closed by windows. You will need to restart the program. An error log is being created.

I tried solving the problem by first uninstalling office and reinstalling did not work also tried detect and repair utility. My latest attempt was to install office sr1a and office service pack none of which eliminated the problem. Any suggestions.

I had the same problem with Word. I found out it was actually the media sent to our company by Microsoft. I installed the same program on a new computer (I do not know if you have this option) and the same problem occured. I called Microsoft supportand they had me run a few more tests and determined it was the media and sent me new CD's which works fine now. I do not know if this will solve your problem because it is not common but it did happen to our company.

Best of luck,
Carl

Since it seems that your problems are print related, have you tried removing and reinstalling your printer driver? That would probably be the easiest thing to start with.

You did not mention which version of Excel you are having a problem with.If you are using Office 2000 or Office XP, visit http://office.microsoft.com/ and on the left side of the page you will see a link under Office Update for Product Updates. At the top of this next page you will see a section entitled Welcome to Office Product Updates with a "Go" graphic.

This update site is very similar to the Windows Update site. It will scan your PC for Office applications for which there are posted updates, then it will list the available updates, and you select the updates to install. Depending on what updates have not been installed, some may be required to install individually. If this is the case, a few visits to the web site may ne necessary to completely update the Office applications.
