Catastrophic Failure Message

I have developed an excel spreadsheet using application & workbook events,
the size of which is around 700KB. The program works fine at home running on
XP but when I use the program at work, after a few saves the error message
'Catastrophic Failure' appears, freezing the application. You then cannot
quit excel and have to turn the computer off. There is no particular code
which should generate an error. The only thing I can think of is I developed
the program with excel 2000 and the version running at work is 97. I am
guessing this has something to do with it. Does anyone know how I can get
around this problem?

Make sure all versions are fully patched and try Rob Bovey's code cleaner at
