Error: Invalid sheet name
Jan Karel Pieterse
Excel 97 has a bug that creates looooong (internal)
sheetnames when one copies the copy of the copy of the
copy of a sheet. When one loads a workbook with that
problem into XL XP, it fixes that I guess. It should be no
problem to save that file and open it in XL97 afterwards.
