"Document not saved" error message when you use linked embedded objects in Excel (329410)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Excel 2002
- Microsoft Excel 2000
This article was previously published under Q329410 SYMPTOMS If you insert a link to an embedded object in a workbook in
Microsoft Excel, you may receive the following error message when you try to
save the workbook: Document not saved.
CAUSE This problem occurs when you delete a link to an embedded
object, and then insert a new link to the same embedded object. When you delete
the original link, Excel cannot complete the deletion process until you close
the file. When you create the new link to an embedded object, Excel tries to
bind the link to the same embedded object for the second time and causes the
workbook to remain in a state that cannot be saved. WORKAROUND To work around this problem, delete the link to the
embedded object, and then close and reopen the workbook before you try to
insert the link again. STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
