asked on

number format error message

Hello all,

Can someone tell me what these error messages mean and how can I fix them?

"No more custom number formats can be added!"
This error message appears when I first open an Excel file; I have to click OK several times before it goes away.

"File Error, Some number formats may have been lost"
After clicking OK on the first error message, then I get this one I click OK once and it goes away, then I can work on my file.

The messages only appear when I open an existing file; they do not appear with a new file.
Can someone please help?

TIA, Jovix

Which vesion of Excel?
Most seem to favour this solution:-
"You receive these error messages if the Symbol box in the
International - Currency Format dialog box is empty."
Will re-post as an answer if it solves the problem.

Did this messages appear on every files, or just on some of them?
Maybe this workbook really contains custom number formats?
