Runtime error 424 in Windows 8 environment
 

I have downloaded a workbook with some macros from an insurance company. It runs perfectly well on both Excel 2007 and 2010 on a Windows 7 platform, but when I try it on a Windows 8 platform, I get Runtime error 424 in both Excel versions.

The code is password protected so I can't debug. The insurance company can't or won't help.

Has something changed from Windows 7 to 8, like names of DLL libraries or something like that?

Not in such a way that would prevent macros from running... I *think.*

If you're willing, send the spreadsheet to me at auric.auric [at] gmail and
I'll take a look at it. I'm curious about this.

hi Jan,

have you checked if there are missing libraries (menu/ tools/references)?

hi Jan,


As the VBA code is password protected, I can't get to References under Tools - and that is my main problem.

I was unable to break the password for the spreadsheet. Passware says
"Invalid format" for the encrypted VBA content. Sorry.

Given our findings on the file being corrupt.., it's best IMO that the
OP urge the author[s] to revise the project for Win8 runtime
compatibility.

So it *is* corrupt? I wasn't willing to actually let the macros run...

Yes! As I mentioned in my email.., I suspect this was done deliberately
so the file could not be manipulated or tampered with!
