I am having trouble with my laptop crashing - getting the message "Microsoft Excel has stopped working....". It does it most often when I am working in the attached Excel VBA. Any ideas? Finding-19-Macro-for-EE.docx

Hi, DMKetcher.
Can you post a copy of the file, please? I assume that you will need to redact the data, but please check that the file still crashes.
Thank you! I changed I.D. to ID. Am I not allowed to use SSN or is it just too risky for internet business?

Thanks, DMKetcher.
OK, explanation time - why did I change "ID" to "I.D."? The file was corrupt so the first step in recreating it was to save it as CSV (so that the corruption would be removed). However, there's a funny/bug/whatever in Excel that treats any file starting with "ID" as a SYLK file. So, to avoid any issues, I renamed the column.
Am I not allowed to use SSN or is it just too risky for internet business?
Sorry, I don't understand what you mean. If this is still about column A then it really doesn't matter whether you call it "ID", "I.D." or "SSN" - as long as you don't save it as a CSV.
