I have a problem with an Excel for Windows workbook which contains
approximately 24 sheets right now, but will eventually contain 55. The
sheets are currently identical, and are being copied. The issue is that,
when copying the sheets, there is a recurrent error "not enough memory."
Even with this error, the command eventually finishes. However, after
every additional sheet, saving takes 2-3 minutes per save. The machine is
running NT 4, and has 32M physical memory. Allocation has been bumped up,
but it's not helping.
I took the sheet to a machine with 64M physical memory, and it didn't help
- running Task Manager shows me that the memory is maxed out and the
machine is suffering while trying to do this task.
Does anyone have any experience with this, or does anyone have any advice?
All advice welcome.
Thank you.
