    Cannot Run Visual Basic Editor Because of a Syntax error

    Hello,

    I am using Excel 2011 on my MAC.

    The problem is:

    I cannot create working macros. They only save as the name, though do not work.
    When I attempt to record a macros, it shows up as a error pop up saying:
    "cannot run visual basic editor because of a syntax error"

    I have been using workbooks that are macros enabled. xlsm

    Please help.

    thank you.

    E~

    What are you trying to record?
    Does this error happen in a new workbook or an existing workbook?

    ..Wrap code by selecting the code and clicking the # or read this. Thank you.

    Re: Cannot Run Visual Basic Editor Because of a Syntax error

    I am trying to record a series of actions(cut and paste, insert, then writing of formulas) into a large spread sheet.

    I've tried both existing and new workbooks...

    Thanks,

    What happens when you type code into the VBEditor?

    (I'm stumped and guessing, but it might be a bad install, are you current with the updates?)
