Oh Wise Ones,
I just started getting this error last week when Excel
starts. After I click about 9 OK boxes it will load and run. What have I done
and what can I do to correct it?

"Could not load an object because it is not available on this machine"
The title bar of the message box reads "Microsoft Forms"

Thanks,

I don't have a definitive answer. Sorry.

A couple of things to consider trying:

Look in Tools | Options on the General Tab and see if there is anything in
the [At Startup, open all files in..] text box. If there is, go to that
folder and see what files are in it - could be some odd file has gotten in
there needing something you don't have?

Do a search of My Computer for a folder named XLSTART and see if there are
any files in it, if there are, it could be one of those.

Do a repair installation of Excel/Office.

That's about all I can offer - brain dead at this point.
