Vista Macros
My boss just updated my slow old computer with a fast new
computer...with Vista operating system. We immediately checked out our visual basic code written under windows 2000, and the macros are behaving differently. What I need to know is if we just need to change some settings somewhere. Or would it be better to request windows 2000 to be loaded onto this new computer? Anyway, the modules are acting as though I've declared Option Explicit (I have not). I get an error message for every undeclared variable. I checked the Tools...Options menu and and the check box for Require Variable Declaration is not selected. Declaring variables is not that big a problem, although I'd like to know what is happening here. The bigger problem so far is that many functions just don't work anymore, the computer doesn't recognize them. Left( ) doesn't work. FormatDateTime( ), MonthName( )...the list goes on. I can get around some by using application.worksheetfunction.left( ) etc. Is there a library of some sort I need to load? Does someone out there know what the deal is? Thanks so much. Lisa |

Excluding LEFT the others are not native Excel functions so I suspect they were part of an add-in you haven't re-loaded ASAP utilities, PUP, etc, etc? -- HTH Nick Hodge Microsoft MVP - Excel Southampton, England DTHIS web: www.nickhodge.co.uk blog (non-tech): www.nickhodge.co.uk/blog/ wrote in message ups.com...

I think it's time for an upgrade <vbg.

Huh...Tools - References gives me "Error Accessing the System Registry" On May 22, 3:11 pm, Dave Peterson wrote: Open the workbook on the troublesome pc Open the VBE Select your project Tools|References Look for MISSING in that list of references. Depending on what's missing, you may be able to uncheck it or replace it with the version thatVistauses. |

That doesn't sound good--but since I don't run Vista, I don't have anything but
guesses. Does it happen after you reboot? Does it happen if you're logged on as an admin? If you try the same thing in MSWord's VBE, do you get that same thing? Have you googled newsgroups for that phrase? I just did and saw a post by Randy Birch that pointed to: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/269383/en-us PRB: 'Error Accessing the System Registry' Message When Displaying VB/VBA References Do you use Crystal Reports? wrote: Huh...Tools - References gives me "Error Accessing the System Registry" On May 22, 3:11 pm, Dave Peterson wrote: Open the workbook on the troublesome pc Open the VBE Select your project Tools|References Look for MISSING in that list of references.
