Can anyone advise me what the problem is and how to fix it with Excel. What
happens is I might be working on a spreadsheet in Excel and then go to
outlook to send an email and Excel then crashes causing me to lose all my
work. I know one should regularly save one's work, but to have to do it
because you're sending an email is just rediculous.

Does anyone know the solution.

What versions Excel and Outlook? What is the error message you are getting
from the crash?

MS Office 2000 in both cases.

It is the standard error message in Excel that you see in any program that
has crashed.

Are you using 'send to' or whatever it is called from excel to start
outlook or just switching to outlook to check email ? I'm guessing the
former. :)
'Send to' used to kill xl every time for me in an earlier version of windows
(98 I think ?).
If this is the case, close XL, switch to outlook and attach the file. It's
actually faster too :)

HTH.
