Can't run macro as normal user
Hi all
I have this odd problem. One of our users can't run a macro in a Excel XP spreadsheet. She's getting an Run-time error '1004' Application-defined or object-defined error. When I log on with my administrative account on the same Pc the macro runs fine. What could be the cause of that? Kind Regards Henrik |

Can't run macro as normal user
A '1004' error is essentially meaningless. It is a generic error that means
"something went wrong but I'm not going to tell you what". Any one of hundreds of things could cause a 1004 error. Post the code in question and indicate what line of code causes the error. You don't need to post the entire procedure. Narrow it down to the critical 10 or so lines (with variable declarations) that can be copy/pasted in to the VBA Editor. Mark which line causes the problem. -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft MVP - Excel Pearson Software Consulting, LLC www.cpearson.com (email address is on the web site) "Henrik Christiansen" wrote in message ...

Can't run macro as normal user
Hi Joel
Thanks for the help. I think you are absolutely right,... it is a permission problem. Kind Regards Henrik "Joel" wrote: I don't how to solve this problem. It look like the person doesn't have permission to open a form. It probably an administrator account problem and not an excel. problem. Try moving the excel worksheet to a directory that the person has full priviledges. "Henrik Christiansen" wrote: Hi Joel Hmm.. it does'nt seem like that. When we get the error message I click on the "debug" button: The code looks like this: Sub LaunchMainForm() Dim objF As frmObjectives If giNumberOfOpenForms < 0 Then giNumberOfOpenForms = 0 If giNumberOfOpenForms = 0 Then Set objF = New frmObjectives <- Error on this line, frmObjectives is a userform objF.Show False Set objF = Nothing End If End Sub /Henrik "Joel" wrote: The macro is probably access some files that she doesn't have permission to access. Open up the visual basic editor under the tools macro window. the program should stop when it gets to the errror. Move the mouse over the different variables to see what file name has the problem.

The macro is probably access some files that she doesn't have permission to
access. Open up the visual basic editor under the tools macro window. the program should stop when it gets to the errror.
