Microsoft Windows 95
The program has performed an illegal instruction and will be terminated.

Excel.exe - Application Error

The instruction at "0x0014011" referenced memory at "0x15609100."

The memory could not be "written."

Click OK to terminate the Application.



CAUSE
This problem occurs when the following conditions are true:


 * In the Visual Basic Editor, you set a watch on the Me keyword in a document project item. -and-


 * The Visual Basic Editor is in debug mode. -and-


 * You attempt to reset the project.



MORE INFORMATION
It is not necessary to place a watch on the Me keyword in an item in a document project. The Me keyword is used in class modules to distinguish between different instances of a class. You do not need to use the Me keyword to distinguish between different items in a document project because the items are not created dynamically and the items are each identified by an unique name.
