From: msnyc07 on 12 Apr 2010 18:47 Sure, it is me, not Excel. Funny how my graphics, high-end animation, audio, text, music, etc. etc. etc. apps don't crash. Why is it everytime something goes wrong with this app someone (MS employee? 'Expert') tells me/someone how it is our fault; Manual calculation isn't *really* and one should know to NOT take that at face value. Select-All isn't *really* and one should know that. Freeze Panes unfreezes with Split Window (a coincidence of events one would not necessarily connect) it is our fault. I've worked on and set up high-end Unix platforms with nary a problem. I shouldn't have to know how to (let alone that I should) open the hood and poke around to get standard operations to work, nor should I have to tweak/modify my pc to make sure Excel does not crash every day. Appears my choice is to either use it to total my shopping list or to become a Microsoft Certified Expert. Those shouldn't be my choices in order to get a stable experience and/or standard operations. And you know what? When the reply points at the user each time that should be a red flag about the product.

Its very easy to make a simple application that won't ever crash. Its not humanly possible to make a complex multi-million lines of code app that will never crash. > >PLEASE MAKE AN APPLICATION THAT DOESN'T CRASH EVERY DAY. > I have been using Excel on complex models every day for many years and it crashes occasionally (a few times a year). If the crashes are repeatable its usually trivial to bypass. If you want help let us know what are the circumstances that cause your every-day crashes. By the way the readers and users of this newsgroup did not make Excel. |
