Excel Error Message

When my Windows XP workstation boots up an error pops up and says "Microsoft Excel is waiting for another application to complete an OLE action>" What does this mean and how can I stop this from happening?

I am using MS Office 2003.

Thanks

OLE object linking and embedding.

Your spreadsheet perhaps has a document from another application housed inside of it and that app isn't working right

Hi SStory. Thank you for your post. The problem is that I am not opening a spreadsheet. This error just pops up when I first boot the machine.

Thanks
