damaged file
 

Hi experts,

i've made an application with userforms and a few sheets.
it works fine for me.

however, if i copy the file to another pc and try to start it, i get the
message that the file is damaged and cannot be started.

How can i get the file fixed again? Do i have to compile it or.....?
Thanks for any suggestions !
Pierre

Just copy it again. Make sure you can open it on the computer where it
was originally created and that it is really closed before the copy.

First, this assumes the versions of excel are the same.

If you have xl2002 or later, there should be a built in capability to
attempt to fix the file.

In addition.
If it is working on your computer I would make a backup and only work with
the backup in case there really is a problem or the problem gets work. In
fact, it might be time to build a new file by exporting/importing and
copying.

If a copy of the new file exhibits the same behavior on the other machine,
then it could be a problem with the other machine.

As a general rule, develop on the oldest version of excel that will run the
code.


Try exporting all your code into files and make a copy of your workbook with
no code. Go to the oldest version of excel, and Open the workbook, then try
importing the code modules.
