I created a master template file that utilizes vlookups to pull in data
from a data file. On the master template, I have some macros, two of
which are used to hide and unhide columns.
After running the data into the master (i.e. with the vlookups), I get
40 'custom' files which I emailed out to my coworkers who are NOT on the
same network. (I mention this because all of the macros work just fine
on dozens of computers within my office).

The error occurs when they open the file and try to click the Unhide
Columns button/macro. The error reads:"Compile error in hidden module:
Module 2". I discovered that this error is due to the fact that I
protected the VB script. So I unprotected the script in the VB editor
which leads to the following error: "Compile error: can't find project
of library."
At this point, the debugger highlights the word "Password" in the line
with Password = "bobbob". Here is the entire macro:
Sub UnhideComment()
'
' UnhideComment Macro
' Macro recorded 12/11/2003 by CMH
'

'
Sheets("Office").Select
ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="bobbob"
Columns("e:g").Select
Range("f1").Activate
Selection.EntireColumn.Hidden = False
Range("c3").Select
Password = "bobbob"
ActiveSheet.Protect Password, DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True,
Scenarios:=True
End Sub

YOUR HELP IS VERY MUCH APPRECIATED ... and badly needed!!
Thanks,
Chris

Hi
This is a copied reply of Tom Ogilvy's to a similar problem - hope he doesn't mind!
"Hopefully it is just an errant reference which was inhereted from the
configuration you used when you built the file. If so, they just need to go
to the VBE (alt-F11) then in the menu go to Tools=References. Any item
which is checked and shown as MISSING should be unchecked. If it is not
needed, this should clear up the problem. If not, then it should show you
what necessary items are not available and you can go about creating
references to them.

HTH,
Tom Ogilvy

PS - if there were unnecessary items causing the problem, go to your
original file and uncheck these items on your machine. Then make a change
on the worksheet or in your code and save the file (sometimes unchecking an
unnecessary reference is not a change that is detected)."

regards
Paul
