Excel not staying open

This could be your problem:

When you start one of the Microsoft Office programs listed at the beginning of this article after you install Microsoft Project 2000 or Microsoft Visio 2000, the program quits immediately after it starts. The list includes Excel 2000.

Hope this helps.

If the solution above does not describe and fix your problem, the next step I would recomend is to check the event viewer in the admin tools section of the control panel. I would check the application and system logs. You can resort the data entries by clicking on the top of the column. If the data is not organized by date, i would click on the column where it says date so that it is organized chronologically. Look for the latest entries which will be either at the top or bottom of the list. Double click on anything that has a red x or yellow triangle on it. Chances are good that Excel is writing some type of error here that is documenting the problem. The text can be copied and easily pasted into an email to support or to search the Microsoft Knowledgebase.
