  • 1. Mail Merge & Excel
    I have wierd interactions using Mail Merge in Word with an Excel data file and sending to Outlook Express. Specifically, there are two issues: 1. Some cells with more than 256 characters will transfer fine, but others will truncate. 2. If I run a mail merge, then close all programs, then open Excel again, I get a holy experience -- the windows frame for Excel is there, but the entire internal cell space is missing with the background showing through. Any ideas? My versions: Word 2002 (10.5522.4219) SP-2 Excel 2002 (10.4524.4219) SP-2 Outlook Express 6 6.00.2800.1123 Windows XP Professional 5.1 (Build 2600.xpsp2.030422- 1633 : Service Pack 1)
  • 2. Intermittant bug - remote server doesn't exist
    I need to open excel and do something, close it. I need to do it in a loop (multiple times). In order to avoid the problem in excel closing( I cannot close excel and restart, because excel will not close), I check if there is an excel appliation object running and reuse it. If is not running, I create a new object and add worksheet and so on. Once in a while I get the following error: "The remote server machine does not exist or is unavailable"
  • 3. MSOHELP.exe error
    While working in Excel (W2K, Office 2000 Pro)and click on Help, I get an error message of "MSOHELP.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows. You will need to restart the program." When I do restart the program the same thing happens. Can anyone confirm that the real problem is with MSHTML? or what the fix for this is? Thanks
  • 4. Bringing in data from Access
    I have been trying to import data from an Access (97) database query into Excel (97) from the Data pull down menu; Get External Data; Create new query. When ever I point to the query in the database I get a MS Query error stating "Syntax error in FROM clause" which states that the error was returned by the driver. There was no FROM clause in the query, also I have tried it with a table and got the same error. Can anyone help?
  • 5. What does this mean. How can it be fixed
    Hi, It usually is caused whenone has many charts in a workbook. Each chart adds some "New fonts" and when many are added, you may hit this limit. Remove some charts (e.g. to another workbook) and you should be OK. Regards, Jan Karel Pieterse Excel TA/MVP >-----Original Message----- >No more new fonts may be applied in this workbook, > > >This is the message I get. It will eventually lock up the >machine. >. >

EXCEL.EXE is not a valid win32 application

Postby SkQgSG9ybg » Tue, 29 Apr 2008 00:21:01 GMT 

Sometimes when I try to open excel directly, or by double-clicking an excel 
file, I get the error message "EXCEL.EXE is not a valid win32 application". 
The first time it happened, I tried repairing office - and that seemed to 
work - but the last time, I shut down and restarted the comp and excel 
started to work again. Excel seems to be the only app that does this. I use 
it quite a bit, and it's giving me flashbacks to windows 95's multiple 
reboots per day to keep things working ;)

I'm running office pro 2007 sp1 on vista sp1 (oh, and this started to happen 
after the vista sp1 install)

1.Microsoft Office\Office\EXCEL.EXE is not a valid Win32 application 

Lately, In trying to open an excel file, or excel program, 
I get the referenced notein a pop-up box.  
Nothing eles opens.
Using Office 2000Pro and Win98.  All other files seem ok.  
Also, Microsoft automatic updater won't perform eaither.

Any clues?

2.Excel.exe is not a valid Win32 Application. 

My system:  Vista Business 32bit with SP1, Office 2007 Professional with SP1.

For a while I was running Vista (without SP1) and using Office 2007 with 
SP1.  Rarely any issues.

Sometime after installing Vista SP1, I've been having odd issues with my 
Office installation, Excel especially.  I don't know if it's its SP1 related, 
or if it's just something went wrong with the Office install.

Here's the issue.  I leave my PC on 24/7 and simply lock it when I leave the 
office.  After several days, Excel will just stop working, completely.  When 
I try to launch excel I get the error "Excel.exe is not a valid Win32 
application".

I have tried reapplying SP1.  After reapplying the SP1 and rebooting, 
everything returned to normal.  So I thought.  A week or so later, same 
issue.  It turns out simply rebooting resolves the issue temporarily.

I thought my Excel exe was corrupted (i.e. some file wrote/deleted 
information from the binary file).  I verified modified dates with other 
excel exe's and everything is the same.  Nothing seems out of the ordinary.

I can't find any relevant errors in my event log.  I can't see anything out 
of the ordinary when using SysInternal's process monitor either.  It's like 
something in Vista thinks this EXE is a bad EXE and it won't let it launch 
until I reboot.

I have even noticed after several times of launching the exe, if I browsed 
to the installation directory, the actual icon for Excel was dimmed, as if it 
was like a hidden file or something.  WTH?  When I rebooted, it returned to 
the normal icon.  I have yet to see the icon dim again, even during times of 
issue.

I disabled my antivirus thinking it was the culprit to no avail.

What in the world could be happening?  When I use the process monitor, the 
exe never even gets executed (i.e. no events for excel.exe).

Please help!!!

I've scanned 11 pages of microsoft.public.office.setup

1) I was hit by the recent viruses and had to scrap 
everything on my disc. I have my WINXP H.E. license. The 
machine had OFFICE XP installed on the machine as well, 
but it is long gone. I bought the computer through a
