    Compile error in hidden module?

    Hi everone,

    In a workbook I am using, everytime I try to open the file I am getting
    a "Microsoft Visual Basic" window saying:

    "Compile error in hidden module: This workbook"

    What does that mean and how can trace it?

    Regards,
    Mike

    Couple of things to look at.

    Check this KB article.

    XL: Compile Error in Hidden Module Tbrun97.xls

    http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;272066

    Or this one.

    http://support.microsoft.com/default...;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.

    The others have pointed you to a cause that was/is attributed to a
    widely distributed add-in. However, the same error message will result
    from a problem in any add-in that is password protected or any COM add-
    in. If the solution that the others have pointed you to does not solve
    your problem, you should investigate other installed add-ins.

    Re: Compile error in hidden module?

    I am having this issue with an Excel Spreadsheet and everything and everywhere I've tried does not work... The files that everyone has suggested and on other sites do not even exist. ComCtlLib.exd or MSComCtlLib.exd... I've tried to go through C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\XLSTART and remove files but there are none... And going through these as well... C:\Documents & Settings\USERNAME\App Data\Microsoft\Forms which was where ComCtlLib.exd or MSComCtlLib.exd was supposed to be... but they weren't.. and of course good old C:\USERS\USERNAME\APP DATA\ROAMING\MICROSOFT\EXCEL\XLSTART to no avail.... It could be an issue with the originator and it is password protected which I did remove... re-running the VBA isn't working and provides more errors... I'm a Net Admin here and the user that is trying to get the data validation to work just is not working right... It's possible the original document was in Windows 7 x64 and the user uses WinXP x32... so I saw some issues can arise with that... any other suggestions??

    Re: Compile error in hidden module?

    I am having a problem with one user, that is getting the error "Compile error in hidden module: BROWSE. This error commonly occurs when code is incompatible with the version, platform, or architecture of this application." They have Office 2013 Professional, Enterprise edition, 64bit install. I have tried Googling this problem with very little luck. Any help would be appreciated.
