To those who Excel!

I have an xlt that has been working faultlessly for many months. Alas
it it starting to fail for certan users where the cause is a missing
ref.

This in itself ought to be straightforward except that it is looking
for :

Missing Microsoft RichTextbox Control 6.0 (SP3) This is curious as
this control is not included in the template.

In the instances where there is no problem this reference is not
listed at all -

I am using Excel 2000 - The failure sympton is the predictable
rejection of Right, Left or Trim

The template connects to a SQL server database (ODBC) and serially
calls some SPs to populate tables and graphs.

I realise this is light on detail but I ask in the hope that it rings
bells as is.

Cheers
