Thanks for your reply. I've looked at the article and
cannot find anything files or folders listed there. I've
ran a search for vbe*.* files and granted users modify
access, and also searched for excel*.* and did the same
thing. I still get the same error. Is there anything else
you can think of?

Thanks.

OFF97: "Access Denied" Error Message When You Open a
Document That Contains
a Control

although this is for NT, Windows 2000 is just a newer
version of NT and
didn't exist when Excel 97 was released - so I think this
should be
applicable.

Users with only User Privileges are unable to open excel
files that require Power User or Administrator
Privileges.
Error Message is "Visual Basic: Permission to use object
denied". This message points to error 419 but doesn't
provide any workarounds or resolutions. This is Excel 97
running in a Windows 2000 environment. Is there any way
to
resolve this without granting normal users Administrator
Privileges?
