Unspecified Error When You Try to Retrieve Data on Oracle Server
An error occurs in non-English-language versions of Excel when
you create an Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) connection to an Oracle
database. Excel attempts to open a catalog called "Default," and the provider
does not support catalogs.
Excel Attempts to Free Invalid Memory Block During Recalculation
During recalculation of dependent cells, if a cell value that is
used by a custom XLL is changed by outside code (such as Dynamic Data Exchange
[DDE] or Automation), Excel must postpone the XLL call and again recalculate
the dependent cells. Under these circumstances, if the dependent values are
being passed as an array, Excel may improperly attempt to free unallocated
memory because of invalid pointers, which causes the XLL code to fail.
Graph Error Message When You Edit Pie Chart Data
Microsoft Graph may generate the following error message:
Graph9.exe has generated errors and will be closed by
Windows. You will need to restart the program.
This behavior occurs
when you press the TAB key after you edit the legend cell of a pie chart. At
this point, the chart disappears.
File in Use Error Message When You Open File with Long URL
When you open an Excel file with a URL name longer than 255
characters, you may receive an error message stating that the file is locked
for editing. You do not receive this error message the first time that you open
the file, but on the second and subsequent times.
Error Message When You Print from Print Preview
When you print from Print Preview, you may receive an error
message similar to the following:
0x00000024 referenced
memory at 0x00000024. The memory could not be read.
This behavior
occurs when your workbook contains Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications
(VBA) code that uses the
WorkbookBeforePrint application event to stop the printing process by setting the
Cancel argument to
True.
Cell Contents Are Truncated When You Use Freeze Panes
Cell contents may be not displayed correctly when you use freeze
panes within an outline group. This behavior occurs if the worksheet is zoomed
to a magnification other than 100 percent.
Text Box Changes in PowerPoint Charts After You Open and Close Them
In Microsoft PowerPoint 2002, when you open and close an Excel
2002 embedded chart that contains text boxes, the text boxes may disappear or
appear truncated, or the font properties may change unexpectedly.
Error Message on Close After You Run VBA Macro Repeatedly
After you run a VBA macro repeatedly, you may receive an error
message or Excel may stop responding (hang) when you attempt to close the
macro. This behavior occurs when the user name contains more than nine
characters.
Embedded Excel Chart Changes Size When You Edit It
When you edit an Excel chart that is embedded in a PowerPoint
presentation or a Word document, and then you click outside of the chart to
return to the host document, the chart may not return to its correct original
size.
