Crash during Save & Close of Notes doc after editing Excel attachment

We have a simple application with a form containing 3 category fields (DialogList), a body (RichText) field and an authors- and readers field (so nothing special)The application is used for our sales staff and mostly contains all kind of attachments that are frequently edited.

Notes continuously crashes after editing Excel attachments

tested with:

Lotus Notes client 8.0.1 and 8.0.2

Excel 2003, 2007

case:

open Notes document with Excel workbook attachment

right-click the Excel attachment choose Edit

save the Excel workbook

save and close the Notes document

CRASH

findings:

this happens 99% of the time when:

  • one or more worksheets have a filter active

  • one or more sheets have the option freeze panes active

I really could use a full prove solution as most workbooks contain several sheets with long lists

Subject: Same Problem here & more

The Combination Excel 2003 / LN8 is maybe difficult in general.

I have the same Prob. with xls-docs direct from Notes and close xls-Files (version 2.x). The Problem occurs since i installed Lotus Notes 8

Excel crashes if i’m close Excel as Program. If i close only the file, Excel don’t crashes.
