Error Upon Opening Excel
Hello Jason,
RTD is a worksheet function that allows the users to call a Component Object Model (COM) Automation server for the purpose of retrieving data real-time. Because the error is thrown when Excel 2007 is started, it's likely that some auto-start Excel Add-ins or macros have the problem when they use RTD. 1. To see whether the error results from some Excel Add-ins. Please click on the upper-left Excel icon, and choose Excel Options. In the Add-Ins tab, all the active and inactive add-ins are listed. Choose "COM Add-ins" at the bottom of the page, and click "Go", then you will see all the COM Add-ins that are installed for Excel, some of which load at startup, and some load on demand. Uncheck whichever one is causing the problem, restart Excel and see whether the error remains. 2. To see whether the error is caused by some auto-start macros. After Excel is started, please press Alt-F11 to view all the VBA projects that are loaded by this Excel instance. Excel workbooks or macros in the folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE12\XLSTART will also be loaded automatically. Thus, you may want to open each project file in the VBAProject explorer, read its code, and check whether it contains the logic of RTD in it, or temporarily remove the files in the folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE12\XLSTART and see whether the error persists.
