hard drive swap means vba code isn't running
Hello All,
I am hoping someone can help me. Over the last few years, I have developed an extensive list of programs in VBA under Excel to automate various business tasks. These have always worked fine. Recently I had to re-install Win2k to a new hard drive (I corrupted my registry on the old installation). I have reloaded Office (2000 Pro) and copied over all of my spreadsheets. Everything looks ok, however, when I try to run one of my programs, it bombs with a message stating "Compile error. Can't find project or library." I am sure that I haven't reinstalled something correctly, but don't know where to look. Two other things that may or may not be relevant. One, I had VB6 installed on the old harddrive but not on the new one. I just purchased vb.net and have not yet installed it, but I can't figure out why that would cause the problem. Shouldn't the installation of VB6 or VB.Net be irrelevant? Two, when the code aborts, it is highlighting a line that reads "Rundate = Mid(Data, 43, 22)" with the MID highlighted. Don't know if either of these is an issue, but once again, I can't figure out why they would be. Any help is greatly appreciated. I've got some Managers waiting to hear what their monthly rankings are and this is holding up the whole process. Thanks Doug Wills |

With only one workbook open, run the code until you get the error.
then go to tools=References (in the VBE) (you may have to hit the reset button first) and look at the list of references selected. At least one will appear as MISSING. any missing references are the cause of your problem. If you don't need them, uncheck them. If you do, you need to install that library. References are stored with the workbook. when you do Tools=References, you are looking at the references associated with the activeproject -- the one highlighted in the project explorer. Make sure you are looking at the correct project when you do it. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Doug Wills" <doug wills at rtobestway d0t c0m wrote in message ... Hello All, I am hoping someone can help me.

It seems that MSMAPI32.OCX was trying to load but wasn't in my WINNT/SYSTEM32 folder. Removing the reference fixed this particular program, and I will spend some time checking the others now. I really appreciate the help. As a side note, is there any benefit to copying this file over? or is simply removing the refenrence good enough? I believe that the MSMAPI ocx was used to test sending some email directly from Excel, but I never got very far and I never implemented it (I may be wrong - I don't remember exactly why this reference was added for sure.)

I think that control is distributed with VB6. Unless you know you are going
to use it, I don't know that there is a need to install it. If you want to send email with Excel, Ron de Bruin has documented a number of techniques (none of which require this control).
