Hi Guys,

I recently had the same problem following reinstall of Excel 2000 onto
my new computer.

Check the following thread
[url]http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/thread-1793028.php[/url]

I tried it and it worked for a while then crashed again.

Following the logic that the XLB files were becoming corrupted I
deleted all add-ons from the system (using Add/Remove Office Features),
especially those with VBA, noted in the title. I followed the logic that
[Support for Excel 2000 is discontinued except for security updates |
Security updates are patching anything with VBA content (esp. add-ons)
| there is a strong possibility that changes to add-on format will
cause cooruption of customization file].

I have now had 2 beautiful event free days.
