Under Multifinder, I have tried to change the memory setting for MS Excel from the default of 512k. But then when I try to run it, it doesn't boot the application. I tried the sizes 768k and 1024 but get error msgs (sorry, I don't recall exactly what the msg said). Is it possible to change the memory allocated to Excel under Multifinder? If so, what sizes are permissible? --Bruce -- *** These are my opinions and not necessarily those of MGC *** Bruce Holm / (503) 626-7000 Mentor Graphics Corp. / USENET: bruce_holm@mentorg.com Beaverton, OR 97005-7191 / UUCP: ...!uunet!mntgfx!bruce_holm

I haven't had any problem changing the memory req. to 1024. I notice from your other posting that you have a IIci. Make sure your excel is version 2.2a in order to run properly with your IIci. -- Dana E.

I usually have Excel set at 1024, and with some really big spreadsheets I've set it to 2048. Make sure you have quit Excel before you change (actually I don't think it will let you until you do) do a get info and change the application memory size. This has always worked fine with multifinder. What version of Excel are you using? 2.2? Make sure you have enough memory on your Mac to support the extra your giving to Excel.
