We're running Office 2000 on a Dell PE1850 running Windows Server 2003
Standard w/SP1 in Terminal Services Application Mode. We've run into an issue
trying to open a 25mb Excel spreadsheet. Excel just quits unexpectedly and
generates an error:

This server opens other spreadsheets up to about 20mb just fine, but seems
to choke on anything over 21mb. We've got 2gb of RAM in the box. The 25mb
spreadsheet opens fine on various workstations with <1gb RAM. Any thoughts?
 
I've opened Excel spreadsheets over 100 mb in size before with less than 1gb
of RAM.

If you can open files that large on other machines perhaps the Excel
installation is bad on the machine you're having problems with?
