Out of the blue I am getting a message that says "Disk is full" when I try to close workbooks in excel. I have over half of a 120 gb hard drive free.

HELP!

Prevent GETPIVOTDATA. Select inside a PivotTable. In the Analyze tab of the ribbon, open the dropown next to Options and turn it off
Hi Will

Is this on a network or a PC? If you are on a network then this error can appear if you momentarily lose connectivity.

There are a number of resources available from MS here, but I'm not sure they will help :

You aren't perchance running Veritas backup software or Symantec (Nortons) anti-virus software?

If all these steps fail, then there is a troubleshooting guide from MS here:

Have you tried saving the file elsewhere? Also, I saw a recommendation to increase the size of your virtual memory - could it be a case of insufficient RAM rather than hard disk space?

HTH, Andrew
