Hi Group,
I'm just trying for the first time to use the 'Excel Object Library' from VB6. I'm using Excel 2002 (Microsoft Excel 10 Object Library) I have some code similar to the following: Dim excelApp As Object 'Excel.Application Set excelApp = CreateObject("EXCEL.APPLICATION") excelApp.Visible = False Call excelApp.Workbooks.Open("c:\temp\SomeExcelFile.xls ", False, True) My problem is this: Some of the Workbooks that I need to open may contain some invalid code modules (I can't do anything about this, I didn't create the Excel files) and when the WorkBooks.Open command gets executed, I get a messagebox from the App object: 'Compile Error in hidden module : someModule <OK <HELP' Does anyone know a way that I can avoid these messageboxes popping up? (The fact that there are some compile errors in the code has no bearing on what I am trying to do with this application, so I really want to completly ignore them, but if necessary, I don't mind handling the error and doing somthing with it, I just don't want these boxes pinging up in the middle of my application!!) Thanks, ChrisM |

Hi Don,
A good answer, but unless I've missed the point, not one that can help me in this situation... Looking at the URL you posted, the suggestions given for my problem involve manually doing things to the excel workbooks through excel itself. That is not really in option in my case as we will be receiving these files on a regular basis and it woun't really be practical to perform these operations on each and every file... What I'm trying to do is open the excel file via VB6. All I want is for the Application Object to withhold the error messages... Thanks again for your suggestion.

Hi Chirs,
from memory Application.enableEvents=false, just before you open the workbook will inhibit the firing of the open event Regards, Jean-Yves "ChrisM" wrote in message ...
