Application Error: "...The memory could not be 'read'."

H

hmm

Yesterday I saved both an Excel (2000) template and a worksheet file based on
the template. When I later tried reopening either, I would get an
"Application Error" dialog box, stating "The instruction at '0x300d31de'
referenced memory at '0x00001034'. The memory could not be 'read'." The
user is offered to debug the program, upon which Visual C++ opens and
displays the message box "Unhandled exception in EXCEL.EXE: 0xC0000005:
Access Violation." Behind this box is a window labeled "EXCEL - Microsoft
Visual C++ [run] - [Disassembly]", with a yellow arrow pointing to a line of
code which reads:

7C901230 int 3

When I click OK in the message box, both C++ and Excel close.

The files containg VB macros, but the same errors occur even if the macros
are disabled.

Can anyone give me any clue as to what could have caused this most unusual
error, and how to recover either file?

Thanks.
