Excel 2007.  I have posted a couple of times here since installing Office
2007.  I am having code bomb in Excel 2007 that has worked well for years.  
Most people here have little or no experience in Excel 2007 (like me) and
thus cannot help.  How do I get Microsoft to HEAR problems like I am having?  
I want to switch my whole office over to 2007, but if Office 2007 problems
fall into a bit bucket I am leery of making the change.  Any help or
suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

What is the problem, many of us have been using 2007 for a while, Beta
through TRM.

Many companies are conservative about upgrading, and wait half a year or so
for some of the early problems to be addressed.

What is the nature of the problems you are having? I've been playing with
2007 for some time, and have found that some stuff works well, and some
needs improvement.

Excel 2007.  I have code that worked for years with Excel 2003 and now fails
regularly (but not always).  I get the following error:

Run time error '1004'

Unable to set the Enabled property of the OLEObject class

The error occurs on the first and any of the subsequent lines below the
asterisks in the following code.  Someone had suggested fully qualifying the
references, which I did, but the problem persists.  Thanks for ANY help you
may provide.  God bless.

Doug,

That line in itself, in isolation, works fine, as does False.

have you tried to run just that line of code, to see if it is something
else, or your setup?

Did you read my earlier response? Does it make any sense?
