Actually, I hadn't thought of that, but Jacques is right...try deleting temp files, John...that indeed could be the problem I assume you know how to delete temp files, but for any others in here who don't, here's my page of instructions on that: http://personal-computer-tutor.com/deletingtempfiles.htm Temp files cause all kinds of weird problems and Office is notorious for leaving them behind when they should have been deleted automatically....so I should have thought of this...thanks for the reminder, Jacques Linda Publisher ~ ABC ~ All 'Bout Computers Owner ~ Linda's Computer Stop http://personal-computer-tutor.com FREE MS Office eBook Tutorial http://personal-computer-tutor.com/library.htm -----Original Message----- From: mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jacques De Schryver Sent: Wednesday, January 22, 2003 1:48 PM To: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [mso] Re: Can't fill cells in excel ? This may happen when the computer is overloaded. Too much memory saturated.
