I don't see any ref to your problem in that link and not sure what you mean
by "string path problems", nor how copying sheets makes things work. Your
question is very vague.

If (guessing) you are saying your VBA string functions break, your problem
may be due to missing Reference(s). In user's vbe look at Tools/References.

As a temporary fix to get your string functions working, fully qualify back
to VBA, eg

s = VBA.Strings.Left$(sText)

DateTime functions can be similarly affected, possibly others too.

If above fixes best to get to the route of the problem.

I am having "string path problems" when porting an add-in to different
xp machines (This works fine on my XP development machine). See a
reference to the problem he

Is there a way around this problem using code so that my users don't
have to copy all of the sheets to a new workbook in Windows XP in
order to make the VBA string functions work properly?
