Have you tried the Knowledge Base? There were some 20 issues raised when
simply searching for 'excel save' as keywords, maybe something there might
help. Perhaps a good starting point would be "How to troubleshoot errors
when you save Excel files"

Good luck

I have Office 97 running on a windows me machine. Been using the Excel for
months on this machine with no problems.
Suddenly started receiving "excel has caused an error in excel.exe. if you
continue to have problems please restart your computer" error out of
nowhere.
Error comes up when I try to save a file - closing the program and losing
all
the work. Software works fine until I try to save. Have tried to save in
multiple file formats and locations - to no avail.

I reinstalled excel from the office cd. No help. Same message.

Any ideas????

Thanks.
