Paige,

Working on the same workbook, I've found that you may need to just comment
out the lines

Dim myBook As Workbook
Dim myVBA As VBIDE.VBComponent
Set myBook = ThisWorkbook
Set myVBA = myBook.VBProject.VBComponents(myBook.CodeName)

With myVBA.CodeModule
For j = 1 To .CountOfLines
temp = "'" & .Lines(j, 1)
.DeleteLines j
.InsertLines j, temp
Next j
End With

This should work for the activeworkbook, if the code is in another book:

Dim myBook As Workbook
Dim myVBA As VBIDE.VBComponent
Set myBook = ActiveWorkbook
Set myVBA = myBook.VBProject.VBComponents(myBook.CodeName)

With myVBA.CodeModule
.DeleteLines 1, .CountOfLines
End With

I have set up many files using the Workbook_Open code when a file is
opened. I, in turn, need to delete the code after the file has
processed. I was able to do this, but now my computer won't accept.
The version of Microsoft I am having trouble with is "Microsoft Office
Basic Edition 2003" and the code is as follows:

'deletes workbook open code
Dim DeleteWBOpen As Object
Dim StartLine As Long
Dim HowManyLines As Long

Set DeleteWBOpen =
ThisWorkbook.VBProject.VBComponents("ThisWorkbook" ).CodeModule
With DeleteWBOpen
StartLine = 1
HowManyLines = .CountOfLines
DeleteLines StartLine, HowManyLines
End With

I have also tried the following and it still gets hung up.

Sub DeleteAllVBA()

Dim VBComp As VBIDE.VBComponent
Dim VBComps As VBIDE.VBComponents

Set VBComps = ActiveWorkbook.VBProject.VBComponents

For Each VBComp In VBComps
Select Case VBComp.Type
Case vbext_ct_StdModule, vbext_ct_MSForm, _
vbext_ct_ClassModule
VBComps.Remove VBComp
Case Else
With VBComp.CodeModule
DeleteLines 1, .CountOfLines
End With
End Select
Next VBComp

End Sub

I have checked the "Microsoft Visual Basics for Applications
Extensibility" box.

Any help??

Thank you
