Visual Basic problem

[spondee]

I don't know how this happened. Been using Office 2003 for a couple
of years now under xp home. But am always d/l and installing new
stuff, etc.

When I try to open excel or word I get error messages ie
Microsoft Visual Basic: auto exec or auto exec new, etc.

When I click on info on how to fix this, I get notice that 'project'
is protected. (Must Be VB, I don't have office files 'protected'.),
to unprotect.

I've tried 'detect & repair. I've searched Knowledge, I've tried to
find Microsoft Visual Basic to delete. All to no avail.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Try looking for your XLSTART directory, and move anything that's ther
to another folder, or rename the folder. THen re-start Excel and se
what happens.

(Maybe in program files, MS Office, Office, XLStart)

Take a look here:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q307410
OFF: "Compile Error in Hidden Module" Error Message When You Start
Word or Excel

It points at PDFMaker.xla as being the culprit.

If you move/delete that addin, you should be ok.

That's exactly what it was!!!

I took the easy road, uninstalled Adobe Acrobat, reinstalled. Then
everything was working!

Thanks so very much!
