Hi all,

I have a .xlsm excel template with quite some macros and a toolbar in it. It e.g. executes some macros on opening & closing. It is working fine for about 95% of the users, but 5% of the users do every now and then bump into "problems found with file yourfile.xlsm, would you like to recover the contents as much as possible". Does anyone know of a list of things that can cause this? I'm trying to come up with a) some whattodo-document for the users and b) could try to improve my model so it doesn't happen that often.

Thanks!
Koen
