Default damaged file

As a general rule, develop on the oldest version of excel that will run the
code.


Try exporting all your code into files and make a copy of your workbook with
no code. Go to the oldest version of excel, and Open the workbook, then try
importing the code modules.

First, this assumes the versions of excel are the same.

If you have xl2002 or later, there should be a built in capability to
attempt to fix the file.

In addition.
If it is working on your computer I would make a backup and only work

with
the backup in case there really is a problem or the problem gets work.

In
fact, it might be time to build a new file by exporting/importing and
copying.

If a copy of the new file exhibits the same behavior on the other

machine,
then it could be a problem with the other machine.

Hi experts,
