Excel Crashes upon opening

[JeffGrant]

Hi All,

On a very regular basis, when opening my model crashes. I then have to waiste considerable time going through Open & Repair etc etc to get it to open.

Today, I finally clicked on the message box to figure it out.

This is what I received....

<recoveryLog xmlns="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/spreadsheetml/2006/main">
<logFileName>error159080_01.xml</logFileName>
<summary>Errors were detected in file 'C:\Users\jeff\Desktop\New Horses\New System 47F.xlsm'</summary>
<removedFeatures>
<removedFeature>Removed Feature: Object from /xl/workbook.xml part (Workbook)</removedFeature>
</removedFeatures>
</recoveryLog>


This is all good that excel removed a feature, but i have no idea what feature was removed.
Any ideas on how to track this down.
Thanks in advance.

Your workbook is corrupted. The repair function was able to open it by stripping something out. Never a good situation.

Start by having a look in the log file referenced error159080_01.xml.

It's been my experience that once this starts to happen it never gets better. Time to start thinking in terms of reverting to backup copies and/or salvaging what you have; because one day it may just refuse to open at all and the 'repair' won't work.
