Help! Excel crashing when opening a workbook.

johnpiper- 

When you perform a repair on an Office installation, the repair process typically doesn't provide detailed logs of the specific fixes it makes. However, it's designed to identify and correct issues within the Office installation that may be causing problems, such as missing or corrupted files, registry entries, or settings.

If you are concerned about the changes made during the repair process and want to verify what was modified or fixed, you can try the following steps:

1. Check Event Viewer: Look for any related events in the Windows Event Viewer that occurred during the repair process. While the repair process itself may not be logged, any errors or warnings related to Office or Excel may provide additional information about the changes made.
2. Review System Logs: You can review system logs and error reports generated by Windows during the repair process. These logs may contain information about the actions taken by the repair tool and any files that were modified or replaced.
3. Compare File Versions: After the repair process, you can compare file versions of Office-related files before and after the repair. This can be done by checking the file properties or using third-party file comparison tools. Look for any differences in file versions, timestamps, or sizes.
4. Test the File: After the repair, thoroughly test the affected Excel file to ensure that the issue is resolved and that the file behaves as expected. Pay attention to any changes in functionality or behavior compared to before the repair.
5. Monitor System Performance: Keep an eye on system performance and stability after the repair. If the issue persists or if you encounter any new problems, it may indicate that the repair did not fully resolve the underlying issue.

If you continue to experience problems or are unsure about the changes made during the repair process, I would recommend contacting your IT support or a trusted support center near you.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
