Microsoft Excel Error Message
So I'm working in Microsoft Excel today and I get this great error message. It's about as unspecific a warning as you can get. I've been working with Microsoft products for quite a while, but this message has to be one of the best (REAL) messages I've ever personally seen. Here's the image:
Catastrophic failure? Ever been in the middle of writing a long paper and had Microsoft Word crash on you before you could save your work? I always thought that was a catastrophic failure. As a side note - always remember to save your documents often!
At least this time I was doing something that is out of the ordinary and is data intensive. For anyone who is technically inclined, I was querying a local database and converting that data to a local data cube for analysis with ProClarity. Ignore this line - In acronym land that would be: using MSQE in Excel to hit an SQL db using ODBC to do some BI analysis on my EUs in EMA for FPD with my PC from TX in the USA. 
Some of the tables have over 50,000 rows of data, but I've done the exact same query before.
Oh well, I thought

"Cannot start the source application for this object"
I was able to do it but all of a sudden, I am getting above error and cannot execute.
I was having trouble with my new computer running slow after I had only had it for a few months. I was upset thinking it was something wrong with my computer until I realized that I needed a good scan to clean out those bugs and viruses that was the real problem. When I started using Search-and-dest roy Antispyware it took care of this problem and now my PC is running like new again. The antispyware solution from Search-and-dest roy, which you can find at www.Search-and-dest roy.com, has made a big difference for me and I’m sure you’ll be happy with it too.
