I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this extremely annoying problem. I have a word97 doc that contains an embedded Excel97 spreadsheet that I update each month, on occasion I will double click on it to update it and although it will show the previous months figures on the screen(ie April), as soon as I open it, it reverts to the the month before thats figures(ie March!
I'm running W98 and Office97(SR2). Also it appears to be an intermitent problem as it doesn't happen every month! I've also opened the file on a W2K machine and it does the same thing! Is the word file corrupt?? I'm at my wits end - should I rewrite the whole file from scratch?? I hope that someone else has had a similar problem - and found a fix for it!
Thanking that someone in Advance.....
 
This is just a shot in the dark. When was the last time you cleared all your temp files?

I clear out my temp files quite often... maybe once a month... you've got me curious now!
