SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Excel 97, when you open and then close a workbook that was saved in WK4 (1-2-3) format, you may receive the following error message:

This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down.

If the problem persists, contact the program vendor.

If you click Details, an error message similar to the following appears:

Excel caused an invalid page fault in module at 0000:01cf0004



CAUSE
This problem occurs only when you perform the following steps:
 * 1) You group two OLE objects together on a worksheet.
 * 2) You then save the workbook in WK4 (1-2-3) file format.
 * 3) You then close the workbook.
 * 4) You then reopen and then close the workbook.



WORKAROUND
To prevent this issue from occurring, do not group OLE objects if you are going to save in WK4 (1-2-3) format.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Excel 97.
