Compile error in hidden module: "Module Name"
Hello,
I have been using Excel 2000 & 2003 to write macros and addins that would run on both Excel 2000 & 2003. Recently I have install SP3 on my Excel 2003 machine and now whenever I save my addins with this version it does not run anymore in Excel 2000. I now get the message: "Compile error in hidden module: ModuleName". I Googled the error and the only solution I found was to update Adobe Acrobat, solution definitely not related to my problem... Any idea? Thank you. Eric |

Compile error in hidden module: "Module Name"
Do your addins still compile on a 2000 machine? As a guess when you got the
upgrade it has changed a reference such as Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects or such. On the 2000 machine try to compile. Also look at the Tools - References and look for anything marked missing. -- HTH...

If you're project is protected, unprotect it and try opening it in xl2k. The
module won't be hidden and you should be taken to the line that caused the error.

Compile error in hidden module: "Module Name"
Jim,
I took a recently compiled/saved Excel 2003 addin to Excel 2000 giving the same error and checked the references. The "Ref Edit Control" reference is missing and the line triggering the error is: "OriginalWorkbook = ActiveWorkbook.Name" What's interesting is that I have sent the same addin to a friend running a non SP3 Excel 2003 and he gets the error. When I look at the DLL location for this reference, it points to the wrong folder, ie ...\OFFICE11\REFEDIT.DLL. If I look at a backup of the same addin compiled with Excel 2000, the DLL location for this reference seems right ....\office\refedit.dll, thus not missing. Could it be possible that SP3 changed the location of that DLL? Which would explain why it doesn't work anymore for Excel 2000 or non SP3 Excel 2003? Thank you.

Dave,
It seems to be a reference location problem, different from 2000 to 2003, at least post SP3. Thank you. Eric "Dave Peterson" wrote in message ...
