One of the strangest & funniest bugs I heard about was in Excel. There was an interface between Excel & the mainframe, hundreds of thousands of rows involved. It crashed & after taking some time to test it turned out that someone's last name was an Excel reserved word like sum or add. The developer just had to add an ' in front of the name & all was well.

Then, like you, it frustrates me to no end until, of course, when I discover, totally by accident, what caused this anomaly -- and then I can laugh at myself for my own stupidity, carelessness -- call it what you like. Other times, one might create a short cut, such as this was, not realizing that it is modifyying something that should have never been modified -- and, if changed, more thought should have been taken to see the consequences. Now, if I had discovered this unintentional hotkey, rather than deleting it, I would have likely changed it to hopefully something more non-intrusive. But, then, of course, I later might discover that it interfered with something else. Thanks for sharing. VICUG-L is the Visually Impaired Computer User Group List.
