DBGARZA - 01 Oct 2007 01:21 GMT Hello, I just installed office 2007 enterprise, all works fine except that in Excel each time I start it and then starts to load the Euro Currency Tools add-in (eurotool.xlam) I get this message: Could not load some objects because they are not available on this machine
I know that is related to the Euro Currency Tools Add-in because when I unmark it on the Excel add-ins list so it won't load, Excel loads correctly.
I think the problem has to do with that first I installed office 2007 upgrading my office 2003 but then I deleted the office11 folder inside the folder Microsoft Office on the Program Files Folder.
I already tried everything, uninstall and deleting any office related registry entries, deleting the Microsoft Office Folder and installing again and nothing works.
Maybe I'm passing some registry entry or something.
Any help will be really appreciated. Thank you very much.
Jim Rech - 01 Oct 2007 15:24 GMT As far as I can tell the Euro add-in for Excel 2007 wants to use the Excel 2003 REFEDIT.DLL even though it has its own (although less than half the size). It may fix the problem if you can get a copy of that Excel 2003 DLL and put it in the old <path to Excel 2003>\Office11 folder, even if it's the only file there.

Thank you very much. DBGARZA - 01 Oct 2007 17:59 GMT I just did that and now I get a compile error when I start with the Euro add-in enabled, is there anymore files I need to have on the office11 folder?

Thank you very much. DBGARZA - 01 Oct 2007 19:15 GMT This are the errors I'm getting now on Excel, this is the compilation error I mentioned before:
Compile Error in hidden module: this workbook
Then after I click on okay I get this error about that the macro could not be loaded and makes reference to this: "EUROTOOL.XLAM!onribbonload"
Any ideas of what does that means?

Thank you very much. Jim Rech - 01 Oct 2007 19:58 GMT The only thing I can suggest is that you register the DLL you copied in. From the C:\ prompt make the Office11 folder current. Then run REGSVR32 REFEDIT.DLL. If that doesn't help I have no more ideas, sorry.

Thank you very much. DBGARZA - 01 Oct 2007 22:21 GMT Is really odd, I did registered REFEDIT.DLL and so far nothing, it keeps giving me nos the compile error in hidden module: This workbook and then that error on the macro.
Is really odd because now if I reinstall office 2003 on a clean installation after remove office 2007 and clean any office 2007 related strings I keep getting the first error of that some objects didn't loaded.

DBGARZA - 02 Oct 2007 04:21 GMT my problem is really odd, I know that now is something related to visualbasic since it marks compilation error first after it tries to load eurotool.xlam and then it puts those macro error, also when I click on the formules tab again I get errors comming from the euro add-in about some macros.
Maybe something is messing the Visualbasic runtime?

Jim Rech - 02 Oct 2007 13:18 GMT Well, I'm almost positive that the problem is REFEDIT.DLL. I know this because I spent a long time hacking into this and I have the password to open the VB project in the add-in so I can see the problem under Tools, References in the VBE. I tried very hard to get this addin to use another copy of REFEDIT.DLL (there was one in Windows\System32 and one under Office12 and one under Office11) but it was never happy unless it could use the Office11 version.
In your place I might try: Uninstall Office 2007, install Office 2003, install Office 2007. If the add-in works consider leaving Office 2003 installed. Else uninstall everything except REFEDIT.DLL (i.e., putting it back exactly where it was).
Would the addin work if Office 2007 was installed on a machine that never had Office 2003 on it? Anyone in that situation want to try it?

Thank you very much. DBGARZA - 02 Oct 2007 20:57 GMT Well it seems I reached a dead end because I uninstalled office 2007 and installed office 2003 and the euro add-in of office 2003 gives me the same error too.
I made sure to delete any registry keys related to office and nothing.

Thank you very much. DBGARZA - 03 Oct 2007 00:41 GMT I'm sure there is something else and is related to visualbasic since I'm not getting the first error, I mean the error I was getting originally was that some objects could not be loaded but that one desappeared, the only errors I get now with the euro add-in enabled are compilation errors, and I'm sure something on the visualbasic compilation part is messed up because all the errors are on the macros, I opened the Visual Basic Editor and tried to run the macros of Eurotool.xlam from there and in all of them I got compilation errors

Thank you very much. DBGARZA - 03 Oct 2007 01:16 GMT Okay more data on my problem, this sure seems to be a problem with the Visual basic compiling library that executes the Macros, not only the Euro add-in is failing also the conditional sum wizard is failing as well the lookup wizard.
So I think something in the visualbasic files got messed up

Thank you very much. mark - 08 Oct 2007 20:02 GMT I get a similar error. It is a Microsoft Visual Basic error message that reads: "Compile error in hidden module: ThisWorkbook."
I have no clue what is wrong. I uninstalled Office 2003 and then re-installed it. This is still happening. Microsoft wants a min. of $49 to even talk about it...and this is their product. Does anyone have something that will help me solve this problem?

I did just take out all the add-ins and this seems to work. Not the most acceptable solution but I will just have to live with it, unless someone can give me a Microsoft fix!

Check all the places where your OS keeps files for XL. I had a similar problem and xl was getting files from a few places before it got to xlstart
:) Tom R - 17 Oct 2007 20:03 GMT I have been given a spreadsheet created in XP Pro with 2003 Excel. I was able to open and use it with the same setup. I now have XP Pro with 2007 on a completely new system.
When I attempt to open the file from the email attachment it acts like it is going to open in 2007 for a few seconds. I can see the file and it looks correct. It then shows the EUROTOOL.XLAM in the bottom of the 2007 Excel for a second and then gives me the - Do you want to send Microsoft error notice.
I have duplicated the same results on another new system with XP Pro and 2007 Excel.
Any suggestions?

I just installed the Service Pack 1 of Office 2007 and that solved the Eurotool problem, I just checked it and it is working now :)

Or are you so overjoyed you highjacked an irrelevant thread to share your success?
If the latter.....good to hear.

The title of the thread you started September 30th was "Problems at Excel 2007 loading".
Mark highjacked the thread October 8th and changed the subject line to "Problems at Excel 2003 loading".
Apologies for the confusion on my part.

It's a problem with a specific workbook/addin.
You were half way done when you unchecked all the addins and noticed that the problem went away. The last half way will be for you to turn on each of the addins (one at a time), close excel and restart excel.
That way you'll be able to find the single addin that's causing the trouble. Then you can turn on all the other addins you want. And go back to the developer of that troublesome addin and explain the problem.

mark - 08 Oct 2007 21:41 GMT My apology Dave. I will go back and tell you exactly which one it was. I use to enjoy finding problems and then letting the developers know, but today it was an issue of time. I was out of commission all day on Friday, cause of the crash that occurred, then today, trying to take this one problem out of the equation. I just haven't had the time to go back. I will, however, do what you asked me to do and write back.

As much as I hate to fix problems, I'd much rather fix it than have it not work.
