Excel freezes on exit

S

Steve

Hi,

Since a couple of weeks, I experience a weird problem. I started to play
with MS query thru Excel 2000 SP3 in order to export data from an Informix
database stored on Unix. In order to make it work, I installed the ODBC
compliant SQL-Retreiver client on my PC. This work great. The bad news is
this:

It appears that if I open Excel and launch a query and then work in MS query
for awhile it screws up Excel. At the moment I close Excel properly but if I
open another Excel sheet and try to close or use print view, Excel freezes
and I have a high use of ressources on the screen and have to reboot the PC.
Even after a reboot, Excel won't work properly. I have to restore a ghost
image of my disk and after awhile the problem comes back again.
I tried to work in MS Query with Excel closed and after tested the query
result in Excel. I ran it ONCE, close Excel and later on, I had to open
another Excel sheet and when I tried to close Excel, the problem appeared
again.

Did anybody experience that kind of problem at anytime?

Help on this please!

Thanks in advance.
