My problem is this. I have an excel spreadsheet which I recently updated on Vista and it worked fine. Previously I had always updated it on another XP machine. When I copied the file back to the XP machine I got the following error: "Compile Error in Hidden Module - Mod General". Mod General is one of my VB sheets. In the past I also got this message on my XP machine but when I copied "pluginn.ocx into Windows/system32" everything was fine. So i did that again but it did not fix it. Can anyone help me solve my problem? I have done the usual deleting of PDFMaker with no result. So to summarise, I updated on Vista and copied te file back to XP but the file would not open due to the compile error. Any help would be much appreciated.
When posting in a Help forum such as this, please try to use a Subject Line that is relevant to the content of your post.
If everyone used a generic subject line such as "Help with Excel", we wouldn't be able to tell one question from another. It would also make searching the Archives much more difficult.
if 2003 or 2000 try a Detect & Repair.
Also, you can try running without any add-ins or hidden workbooks.
To run Excel without loading add-ins or workbooks from the XLSTART folder use the /Automation switch.
You may need to use the complete path name to Excel.
If that works, go to your add-ins and note which ones you have install, then disable them all but one, then restart with a new one each time till you get the error message.
