I have a user who has an Excel error. She uses an Access Database to pull data from Oracle and then copy the data into an Excel spreadsheet. Everything works fine except each time it copies into Excel, Excel generates and error message:

The instruction at "0x30060870" referenced memory at "0x1194ff08". The memory could not be "read". Click on OK to terminate the program.

Everything works as it should, but this message pops up continuosly and she has to keep clicking OK. Anyone know how to get rid of this?

Strange thing is there is no entry in the Event Log. I went to look for it but nothing...

I think we need more information as to how your user is operating. Is she using a VBA macro to export the data to Excel? If so, she could trap for the error no. and handle it with Resume Next.

For example:

On Error GoTo Oops
...
...
Exit Sub

Oops:
If Err.Number = 3027 Then
Resume Next
End If
End Sub

Sorry, I should have posted before this. I actually found the solution to this problem. It was an Add-In that was causing the problem. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to uninstall them one by one to determine exactly which one was causing the problem. If I have time I would like to do that at some point.

I have a similar regular fault message coming up.
It appears most often when I try to print a xx.PDF file, or when I exit from a M$Office application. The latter is most annoying, as my latest changes will not be saved.
There is a long list of entries in the report that the application supposedly sends to M$, but I have found no way to capture it locally.

Regards,
Ole

My error message only happened in Excel and only when she used the Access report to generate the spreadsheets. As I said it was resolved when I took out all of the Add-Ins from Excel. Since your error is happening with PDF files and other Office applications I doubt that this is applicable in your situation.

Sorry I can't be more helpful.
