The title says it all, not sure if this is a post for general or the water cooler (and admins feel free to move it) but...
I can't tell the number of times I've "broken" Microsoft excel (though it isn't frequent) but I'll be in the middle of something and do something that might be bone headed and suddenly I get the pop up that "Microsoft excel is trying to recover your information..." and the bar scrolls and it says this might take several minutes.
I've let it run for up to two hours before shutting it down.
In this instance I had a graph I was in when I moved from the tab that the data was on and back to the graph tab and tried to use a dropdown that would change the numbers in the graph, OOPS. That did it, I forgot the graph was "open" and now I'm stuck in excel trying to recover...
AND when I think about it I was dealing with graphs almost every other time I can remember this happening.
So bottom line for me, if it does work I'm inclined to let it work but if it doesn't usually work instead of wasting time waiting on it I'll just shut it down and start over.
Thoughts?
