VB Editor doesn't "recognize" open workbooks
Hello,
I am trying to add code to a workbook, but when I go into Visual Basic editor, the workbook doesn't appear in the project list. My existing workbooks with code appear fine, but workbooks without code do not appear. I have Excel 2000, recently moved from NT4 to XP. Other things I've tried/noticed: If I try to record a macro (i.e. force the addition of a project), I get an "Unable to record" error. If I right click on a worksheet tab and select "View Code," it takes me to the VB Editor, but the workbook is still not there. If the VB Editor is open, I can't open a new workbook (no error message, just nothing happens). I looked at the list of add-ins, and none of them are checked. However, none of them had titles such as "Visual Basic for Applications" or anything that intuitive, so I didn't know which, if any, might need to be installed. I'm at a loss. I'm hoping it's just a checkbox somewhere in Options that I can't find, but I've exhausted everything my limited knowledge knows to try. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Mike Lee |

VB Editor doesn't "recognize" open workbooks
Brian,
Thanks. Is that something that should be available from Add/Remove Programs? When I looked there I didn't see anything that looked like "VBA." I did notice "Digital Signatures for VBA Projects" and "VBA Help" both of which are installed. If VBA wasn't installed, would I still be able to access the projects that were created before we migrated to XP? Thanks again for the help. Mike -----Original Message----- <<However, none of them had titles such as "Visual Basic for Applications" This might be your problem. VBA is not installed by default with MS Office, you have to use Custom Setup and select it. If this is the case, all you need to do is to rerun Setup and add the application.
