I have just installed Excel 2003 as part of the 2003 Offoce package, but
when I start Excel, I get the following message:

Compile Error in hidden module:AutoExecNew
By clicking on it, the program seems to work normally.

Also, when I close, I get the following message:

Compile Error in hidden module:DistMon
Also the program closes automatically when I click the OK in the dialog box.

However - It is rather annoying.

Anyone know of a way to get rid of these messages?

Thanks in advance
