Hello,
I have a client who is running an xl2003 application (os windows 2000)
on a number of laptops in his office. Simply stated, the application
(master) opens a data workbook, transfers the info into the master
sheet, then closes the data workbook. The master data is updated/
manipulated, then saved as a file, overwriting the original data
workbook.
Mostly this is working well, but occasionally he’s ending up with a
temp 8 digit file plus a corrupted data file (original). The 8 digit
file is Ok. Seems to be happening on any of the computers.
I’ve run this application on my system endlessly, and I cannot
replicate the problem.
Did a lot of searching on the Internet, found a lot of good stuff,
including a very interesting post by Dave Peterson, stating that
antivirus software and/or network errors can interrupt the save
process.
Which may explain part of the problem, but I don’t understand why the
original file is becoming corrupted in my scenario. Any suggestions
would be much appreciated. Thank you.
Regards,
DaveU
