Hi

We have an XLUSRGAL.xls file that contains custom charts which has worked
fine for years. However on SP3 when you use a user defined custom chart ,
exceljust crashes, and then try's to recover the file. The issue does not
occur on SP2. I have tried copying various files (XL8GAL) from the SP2
machine to the SP3 machine but no luck, any help welcome, pulling the last of
my hair out.

Hi,

It seems that the excel files are damaged. If you need to repair them,
I think you can try a utility called Advanced Excel Repair. It works
rather well for my corrupt Excel xls files. Its web address is
