Crashing Bug in Solver.XLAM for Excel 2007???
 

If you create an xla (or xlam) file in Excel 2007 and add a VBA project
reference to Solver.XLAM using Tools-References, the xla (or xlam) file will
crash Excel when it is loaded. You must also add a VBA module (e.g.,
Module1) to the addin and place a dummy routine in the module such as:

Sub Test()
End Sub

Has anyone else experienced this problem with Excel 2007?

You mean you have an add-in that otherwise has no code?

Of course not. It happens from the most complicated case to the simplest
case of no code being present. I simply thought that would be easier to
reproduce for problem resolution.

I haven't used Solver much in Excel 2007 yet, so I can't say anything too
profound. In any version of Excel, I avoid setting the Solver reference,
because I don't know who might use the workbook, on what version of Excel.
It's not as elegant, but I've found that it's much more robust, to use
Application.Run to invoke Solver, as I describe in this article:

YMMV.

I'm familiar with using late binding as well but I already have many xla's
that use early binding and don't really care to change them if I don't have
to. It's not that I'm lazy but I have other things to do as well. I would
not expect this to fail in the newer version.

It's not a major change if all you're changing is how Solver is handled.
