Date Error
 

having a bad hair day with a VBA call, I use the code

tmpdate = Date

this is run as part of an Auto_Open() proc in a
module "Main" in a workbook, the code is protected.

This works fine on some systems, but one others I get an
error message:

Cannot create object in hidden module Main

I know I have been and cured this before but I cannot for
the life of me remember how it's done.

Date Error
 

this is often a misleading error which occurs when a
reference is missing. stop any code , then under
Tools/references chech if anything is missing. If there
is. then you'll need to re-point to the dll or ocx or
whatever.

Date Error
 

Just the ticket, thanks, as a matter of idle interest how
can I work out what is missing on the systems causing
problems, is it simply registering the relevant DLL?

all our users have the right dll's etc
