Modifying Records / Excel Crash Hints?

[Danny Mui <da...@muibros.com>]

Im currently trying to implement print areas and my excel spreadsheets 
die in Excel but open just fine in OpenOffice.  Can any of the record 
generation veterans provide any common problems (or fixes) that may 
cause this?

thanks!

We could but we're horrible guessers.  What helps is actual sample 
sheets which crash excel and actual code.
see the getinvolved page for details.

I get similar problems all the time.  Excel is very unforgiving if you pass 
it anything it doesn't like.  General strategies:

1. Use a diff tool to see exactly what Excel modifies when you make the 
change manually.
2. Try to mimic that exactly.
3. A healthy dose of trial and error.
4. Pull hair out.
