Hi!
I use a MacBook Air with 1,8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and 2 Go DDR2 SDRAM with a SSD drive. It runs Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.3.
I have Microsoft Excel 2008 for Mac installed. Version 12.1.0 (080409).
It does not open Excel workbook files (.xls) that weight more than around 10 MB. I tried opening from Finder or directly from Excel (File > Open...). I can see the loading bar, but nothing happens after. It does not show from the File > Open Recent menu item.
I ran Excel from command line hopping to see some debug info but nothing.
I tried Sample Automator Workflows > Convert the format of specified Excel files. I select to CSV format. Again I see a loading bar but then it says an error happened.
I tried opening the file from Finder while pressing Shift key to disable macros. Anyway I know there's no problematic macro because I can open the same type of workbooks coming from the same server but that are less big (around 5 MB).
I tried opening from Apple Numbers '09 version 2.0.3 (332) and it does not work correctly. I have only the header row, not the other lines.
I'm installing OpenOffice.org to see if I can open it using Calc.
I noticed the quick view from the Finder never manage to display the file. It loads indefinitely.
A colleague at office can open the files with Excel on Windows with no error and I've been able to work on it.
Is my MBA not powerful enough?? Please help I receive this kind of file weekly and cannot continue annoying my colleagues with that! Thanks!
