Problem

Symptoms: When linking to a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet after performing approximately 50 links, the customer receives the error "Not Enough Memory To List Variables." If the user then saves the file, exits WP, then comes back in, the user can do several more links before getting the error message again. Solutions: The problem stems from the fact that WP doesn't use expanded memory for spreadsheet linking and updating spreadsheet links. This problem can be duplicated only when using expanded memory. When WP recognizes expanded memory, the program sections off a section of workspace for the expanded memory use. This makes the conventional memory space available for workspace use smaller. Since this function doesn't use that expanded memory, the customer is running out of conventional memory. If the customer uses the /NE startup option, WP doesn't reserve the workspace for expanded memory. In this situation, the user should have more conventional memory. The next release of the WP program after 01/19/90 should assign less conventional memory to be used by the expanded memory section of the program and may help the customer's situation.
