Same action but different codes recorded.
Edmund,
Running this code (a) on XL2000 I would expect a compile, so your actual error may be due to something else. But if you are working with different versions of Excel, you should use code that is compatible with oldest version. You can see that XL2003 has extra arguments in the .OpenText method, e.g. TrailingMinusNumbers:=True that XL2000 can't deal with. As it optional, if it is missing when run on XL2003, the default is used and XL2000 has no problem. I don't have XL2003, but the value of Origin= -536 looks rather strange, as the options for XL2000 are 1, 2 or 3. NickHK "Edmund" wrote in message ... When I pass my Excel file to co-worker & they execute the macro, code failed with pop up "Compile Error In Hidden Module : Module1". To verify, I performed the same action in others PC & recorded macro along the actions. The below differences were discovered. What have I done wrong?

OK, just found this. According to MS for Excel 2003:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en...asp?frame=true <Quote Origin Optional Variant. Specifies the origin of the text file. Can be one of the following XlPlatform constants: xlMacintosh, xlWindows, or xlMSDOS. Additionally, this could be an integer representing the code page number of the desired code page. For example, "1256" would specify that the encoding of the source text file is Arabic (Windows). If this argument is omitted, the method uses the current setting of the File Origin option in the Text Import Wizard. </Quote So some extra option have been added, but -536 still looks invalid. If you delete that argument, which error do you get ? NickHK "NickHK" wrote in message ...

Same action but different codes recorded.
Dear Nick,
Origin:=-536 ..... replaced with "xlWindows". Error resolved. TrailingMinusNumbers:=True ..... deleted. Error resolved. Amending, as above, for what I've recorded so as to realign with the codes recorded from my colleagues' PC, has resolved the problem, but not at the root. Though I hv no idea of the cause, but will always keep an eye of this incident whenver OpenText method is used on my laptop the next time. Only thing that survives my future worries is "what other differences (while recording macro) could crop up unexpectedly on other actions". I'll wait for any error when executing on others' machine. Thank you so very much for going the extra miles in helping to find the root cause. -- Edmund (Using Excel 2000, XP, 2003) "NickHK" wrote: OK, just found this.

Edmund,
As I said, if you have code intended for use on multiple version, record/write the on the oldest version, to avoid these kinds of issues. NickHK "Edmund" wrote in message ...
