Hi Tom,

Thank you for your reply - but your instructions did not help....

any more ideas?

go to your temp directory and delete any files with .exd extension in that
directory and any directories below it (such as VBE).

In Win XP, mine was at:
C:\Documents and Settings\OgilvyTW\Local Settings\Temp

In fact, close all applications and delete any files in the temp directory
and in any directories below it.
