You'll get that error if a library is missing. In VBA, go to the
Tools menu, choose References, and see if any are marked MISSING.
If you don't need the missing library, uncheck it. If you do need
the library, use the Browse button to navigate to the appropriate
library.
One method that may help you is the following: Close Excel. Go to
the Windows Start menu, choose Run, and enter
Excel.exe /regserver
This will cause Excel to start, rewrite all its registry keys,
and quit. Then, start Excel normally.
