I typically start Excel by double clicking a renamed "resume" type
file which automatically opens up a macro file of my "utility" command
macros.
Often when I double click this file, I get an alert saying there was
an error (I don't remember the actual text) with file I/O, type -37.
If i clear the alert (press OK) and double click the same file, Excel
starts up normally.
The only definitions of this error I can find say the same thing:
bdNamErr EQU -37 ; there may be no bad names in the final system!
I don't know what this can mean: any insights out there?
The usual stuff: This has happened with Excel 1.03, and 1.5; System
5.0 and 6.0.2; under Multifinder (I don't run often without) on 2.5
Meg Plus and SE. Also a goodly collection of INITs including Suitcase
(1.2 and II), Pyro! (2.? and 3), and others. And TMON (usually). I
tried rebuilding the desktop and it didn't help.
