You do not say how big both files are.
256 mb. RAM may not be enough to hold them both in memory.

Hi. BrianB
The files are about 1.4 mb , I do not thing the problem is in the sistem ram ,I think is the excel way to manage memory, anything occur when run code to open workbook with workbook_open event I want know how solve this.
Thanks in advance.

Are you properly closing and setting your object variables to nothing throughout your code at the earliest opportunity

Please destroy the object after using

set excel.sheet = nothing

it relase the space

if not then incrses you virtual memory
and clean the even viewwer

HI. biswajitdas and alex_read
Can you guive me code in order to determine how object are in memory ?
Thanks.

Try this sort of thing all throughout your project:

VB Code:

Dim objXLApp as Excel.Application
Set objXLApp = new Excel.Application
 
If not (objXLApp is nothing) then
    ' Object's created fine - run code against it here
 
    objXLApp.workbooks(1).close
    objXLApp.Quit
    Set objXLApp = nothing
End If

By doing this, you avoid errors when you check the objects are open/created before you use them, and you release them from memory shen they are no longer needed (most objects will have some kind of close() or exit() etc. method you can call & you should always use the "Set xyz = nothing" call when you're finished with an object)...
