Office XP, Win XP
I setup a Restore point.
I installed Acrobat 6.0 Professional.
This caused problems in Excel and Word.
When I open Excel I get an error message "Compile error in hidden module:
AutoExecNew"
When I open Word I get an error message "Compile error in hidden module:
AutoExec"
The Excel and Word VBEs both show "AcrobatPDFMaker (PDFMaker.xla)". I can't
access that code because it requires a password. Of course I can find the
password but that will let me remove only any code that is there, nothing
else.
I restored the computer (stand-alone home computer) to before the install.
The problems and ".xla" are still there.
I uninstalled Acrobat. Problem and .xla still there.
I uninstalled/installed Office. Problem and .xla still there.
No .xla are listed in Excel VBE Add-ins.
How do I get rid of all this, short of a reformat? Thanks for your time.
Otto

You might give this a go.

Thanks for that. I looked and found all the PDF..... files right where
that site said they would be. And it all corrected the problems I had.
