Excel 2007-2016 users tend to see them more than Excel 2003 users. Microsoft re-wrote large portions of Excel when they released 2007. This re-write appears to have affected memory usage. The conclusion we reached from the much testing is that COM add-ins are the major cause of memory issues. COM add-ins sneak onto your PC without permission (or clearly asking). Routinely check and remove them. The two COM add-ins we have seen that cause memory issues are Adobe and Blue Tooth. We have never seen a need for them in Excel. They should be removed immediately. COM add-ins are compiled computer code that manages their own memory. Often at the expense of Excel, especially if they are badly written. Ususally you can run one COM add-in without issues. Two is like walking on thin ice. Three or

Chris wrote about a problem he is having http://excelribbon.tips.net/T011196_Out_of_Memory_Errors_when_Accessing_the_VBA_Editor.html with VBA. It seems that he's getting the error message "out of memory" when attempting to access the VBA editor. He's tried closing all other applications, checked for background programs, and he has ample disk space. The error message even occurs in workbooks with relatively small procedures. It could, realistically, be any number of conditions causing the problem. Because of this, it can be hard to track down the cause. There are a couple of clues that suggest that the problem may be due to either an add-in or to a problem with your macro modules. You can figure out if it is an add-in by simply starting Excel with all the add-ins disabled. Add them back in, one at a time, until you notice the error again cropping up. You will then have a pretty good idea that the problem is caused by the last add-in you enabled. If the problem is not due to your add-ins, then you should suspect your macro modules. If you spend a lot of time editing your modules, they can become corrupted over time. (This has been a known problem for some time in VBA.) You can usually get around this problem by recreating the workbook in which the problem occurs. Copy the worksheets from the old to the new workbook, and then use the VBA export and import capabilities to move the macro modules from the old workbook to the new one. A good discussion on memory

The userform is based on out of a multipage, with one tab for each state. Going in alphabetical order, after I got up to adding Tennessee, I received an "Out of Memory" error. This spreasheet does not contain a whole lot of data, and I did't have other apps open, so I doubt that it was caused by lack of RAM. Clicking on the help, I noticeda couple of potential causes that may have applied to my situation. (1) out of memory Too many public variables, and (2) Exceeding the 64K segment boundry by having a module that is too large. I no longer get the error if I delete the Tennessee page. However, I want this to work after adding all 50 states. How can I tell if my problem is caused by (1) or (2) or something else? What could I possibly do to fix it? Thanks Wednesday, July 28, 2010 12:15 PM Reply | Quote Answers 0 Sign in to vote JaredY, The approach to create a master UserForm is per se a poor design. I guess that the users will not work with all the states at the same time. I would suggest that You use the "Wizard" design and based on the selections users do populate the main UserForm with the specific data/information. At least that my 2 cent opinion.Kind regards, Dennis (http://xldennis.wordpress.com/) Marked as answer by Bessie Zhao Wednesday, August 04, 2010 6:18 AM Wednesday, July 28, 2010 4:08 PM Reply | Quote 0 Sign in to vote Hi Jared I believe there is an upper limit to the number of "tabs" you can put on a UserForm. I don't remember the exact number, but you seem to have hit it :-) Building on Dennis's thoughts, I wonder if it would wo
