Compile Error
 

Excel 2003. When I open an excel file I get a message "Microsoft Visual
Basic". Compile error in hidden module. ThisWorkbook.
When I click ok the message disappears and I can work on the file.
This is a new error as I have used excel extensively and have not had this
message previously.
Any guidance will be appreciated.

It means that there is some startup code that has got an error in it, but
the VBA project is protected, so it can't open up the error for you.

You shouldn't ignore it, it might be important. Contact the author and get
him/her to debug it.

Thanks Bob - I found an add in file in my XLStart folder that shouldn't have
been there. Everything okay after I removed it.
