After installing and uninstalling IE7 twice I cannot open a Excel documents
without getting the error message and closes Excel, with this info.
AppName: excel.exe
AppVer: 9.0.0.8950 ModName: excel.exe
ModVer: 9.0.0.8950 Offset: 0005d0c8

can anybody shed some light for me
Thanks
 
I don't have a solution for you but I just installed IE 7.0 last night and
have had no problems with my Excel 2003...yet.

Art.
 
I am also experiencing this problem and have reverted back to IE6.
Problem disappeared immediately.
Tried dropping the Macro Security to Low - but that didn't fix it.
Will wait for MS to sort out this problem before upgrading.
 
I believe this is an issue if you have any web or vb controls on your excel
document. I am curious if the excel file you were trying to open has any of
these on it?

Microsoft acknowledges problem

I read about this problem in a different forum which informed people that Microsoft acknowledges Excel 2000 and IE7 or higher have a "File Error Data may be lost" problem with images, image maps and shapes.

Microsoft wants you to buy Office 2003 or higher and the problem will be fixed. Typical!

Here is the link where I found the info
