: Hello:
: I wrote an addin that works fine in Excel 2003. But when loaded in Excel 2007 it

: If I unload the addin the problem goes away.

: The addin has several thousand of lines of code and I don't have a clue to where the

: Or what kinds of routines are likely to cause this type of problem?

: Anyway still looking for any feedback on how I can trace the problem.
: Thanks.

I wanted to follow up with the comment that if I change the sheet name
programmatically with a routine such as:


Sub renamesheet()
Dim Rsheet As String
Rsheet = InputBox("New Name of Sheet", , "Result")
ActiveSheet.Name = Rsheet
End Sub

Excel 2007 will not crash.
