Hi everyone,
Just tried to dump a database file (csv) and copy the contents into Excel as I do almost every day and find that for some strange reason I cannot copy data from Excel or csv. It just beachballs for ever and finally I have to force quit excel?
Just updated to 10.4.6 yesterday on this Powerbook G4 1.5, 1.5 gigs ram. I just noticed this tonite as it was the first time I had tried copying since the update. Text files and other copy procedures seem to be fine, just Excel.. I have restarted, repaired permissions, and installed the lated MS Office 2004 updates. Nothing seems to fix the problem. Also I have re-downloaded the database file 2 additional times to be certain it wasn't corrupt or something.
I find this extra strange because my iMac (2 Ghz Intel Core Duo) still handles the copy procedure fine with the same version of Office 2004? I downloaded the same data and performed the same procedure, no problem on iMac....
Appreciate any ideas anyone has on what might be causing this problem... I would add, as an aside, that I also just noticed that I cannot connect to my Imac thru the network now either? Not sure if this has any relation, but thought it should be mentioned.
