"Internal Error at File XLRDR.C" Starting Excel
This article was previously published under Q123188
If you use the Microsoft Windows Sound System Proofreader utility
with Microsoft Excel, the following error message may appear when you
start Microsoft Excel:
Internal Error at File XLRDR.C, line 1360
When this message appears, you can open and edit worksheets in Microsoft
Excel, but the Windows Sound System Proofreader will fail.
This behavior occurs when the Ignore Other Applications check box is
selected in Microsoft Excel versions 5.0a and 7.0 or when the Ignore Remote
Requests check box is selected in version 4.0.
To prevent this error message from being displayed, follow the appropriate
procedure below for your version of Microsoft Excel.
Versions 5.0, 7.0
- From the Tools menu, choose Options.
- Select the General tab. Clear the Ignore Other Applications check
box, and chose OK.
Version 4.0
- From the Options menu, choose Workspace.
- Clear the Ignore Remote Requests check box, and choose OK.
This option allows the you to specify that other applications cannot
engage in a DDE conversation with Microsoft Excel. If this option is
selected, a DDE dialog between Microsoft Excel and the Windows Sound
System is not possible.
The Proofreader utility (PROOF.XLA) for Microsoft Excel establishes
remote links between the Windows Sound System and Microsoft Excel
using Dynamic Data Exchange or DDE. DDE is a mechanism that permits
two applications to "talk" to each other by continuously and
automatically exchanging data.
