Excel Crashes when Posting

Problem

"unexpected error type 1" quit when doing post to job costs using Mac Excel 5
crash, hang, cc posting while using MacNail construction software

Diagnosis

This is an Excel problem.

Sometime you can force it by doing the following: open the cc mgr, and open as many logs and ledgers as they normally use, plus some cost control sheets. Then choose *Save All from the File menu. If it can successfully save all files, the problem isn't serious, it can probably be fixed by the solutions below. If it crashes, problem may be more serious- might need to do an Excel reinstall, or even system reformat/reinstall.

Solution

can USUALLY be fixed by upping XL's memory partition. Can also try doing the post with extensions off. Turn virtual memory off.
