French version of Excel - Impossible to add more format of personalized numbers

[sid hegde]

Our users in France get the below message when they open
one of our Workbooks created in US version of Excel
"impossible d'ajouter davantage de formats de nombre
personnalises"
Translation : "Impossible to add more format of
personalized numbers"

Note that this workbook is created in Office 97 SP-2 and
populated by a VB 6.0 SP-5 applications on a Windows 2000
server

Any help would be greatly appreciated, as this is stopping
our French users from using our Workbook

Thanks,
Sid

Maybe....

It kind of sounds like you're getting hit with the fact that Excel has a limit
of 4000 different formats in a workbook.
