The bug occurs in the following circumstances (although not every time).
1. Two files are open,
- a 'book4' type temporary file that I couldn't care less about.
- a rather large 10 sheet workbook that I've been working on.
2. I try to save the large file - instead
- the _temporary file_ is saved _over_ the large file on the disk.
- an error message is displayed saying the file has been saved but
that it is out of memory and had to close it.
- the temporary file is displayed.
3. Generally the large file disappears from the task bar.
4. If the large file doesn't disppear from the task bar any attempt to
save it results in the message "File not saved" (no explanation or
error number). An attempt to copy sheets into a new book
caused Excel to crash completely with the error log
"Faulting application excel.exe, version 9.0.0.8216, faulting module
excel.exe, version 9.0.0.8216, fault address 0x0011ce53."
Luckily it does still correctly backup the file that was present on
the disk before over-writing it.
