I Must Stop Ranting!

But having to use Windows (at work anyway) gives me a good excuse

Today I was adding some new functionality to an Excel file. The file is stored on our network and when I came to save it, I got a message box saying “File not saved”. We had earlier experienced a network connectivity outage so, thinking that this was the problem, I tried to save it to the local C: drive - same problem.

I couldn’t simply copy and paste into a new file for several reasons - the file contains over 20 sheets, a large number of “Range Names” and several complex VBA procedures.

And the last straw came when I read the Microsoft Knowledgebase - Restart Windows in Safe Mode (which of course means I lose the changes to the file) and then try to save the Excel file to your local hard-disk drive.

Agggghhhh!!
