How to fix a "System call failed" exception when using Office Interop Excel and macros

We have a C# application that executes a fairly complex Excel macro for reporting purposes. The macro runs fine for smaller datasets, however, when the data it needs to process becomes large, we get a:

System call failed. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80010100 (RPC_E_SYS_CALL_FAILED)) at Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Workbooks.get__Default(Object Index)

after about 7 minutes of processing.

This is the syntax we use to execute the macro:

excelApplication.Run(macroCommand, DataBook, DataSheet, macroParameter);

...where excelApplication is an instance of Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel, macroCommand is a string name of the macro, DataBook is the Excel workbook, DataSheet the worksheet to use and macroParameter is just a placeholder parameter.

I have read about implementing DoEvents(), but unsure how and if this will rectify the current issue?

Any help would be greately appreciated.

I ended up using DoEvents() within the Macro itself, adding it at the start and end of each loop.
