    Angry Why does Excel close when I open Access.

    I can't say this happens every time, but in correspondence with Murphy's Law, the more work I've done in Excel without saving seems to increase the chance that when I open Access, Excel goes bye-bye without so much as a "do you wish to save your work?"

    Is there some setting I need to change?

    I've never heard of this kind of issue. Here's the diagnostics I'd go through.

    First, turn on autosave for Excel. You shouldn't be losing anything.

    Second, is Excel at the same version as Access? (both 2000?) While Access 2000 was a good product, I could see how trying to run alongside a product with ten-year-plus-old references might thoroughly hose up Excel 2010 or 2013.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
