tring to run the Macro I get the following messages.

Compile error

this command will stop the debbuger

Here's the action I have already tried.

Disabled virus scan, reinstalled software and I still get

Hi Marianne

Hard to say without seeing your code. Most likely this is
being caused because you're trying to call functions that
cannot be actioned outside of a module (Sub) routine.

Ensure you've got all your code inside of properly
defined Sub routines and check all your syntax
(especially things like missing brackets () on the end of
your sub name).

Example:
Sub Test()
<code>
End Sub

If you still can't resolve the error, you'll need to post
your code.

Hope that helps,
Dennis
