    Excel macro stopped working since i upgraded to Windows10

    Hello I have recently upgraded my pc from windows 7 to windows 10 qnd since then i have a macro that is not working anymore.
    I get the following error.

    Could it be a reference i am missing?

    ***EDIT***
    Change the excel file from .xlsm to .xlam because the site didn't allow me to upload it as .xlam
    ***EDIT2***
    It is a vba add-in not a macro (silly me)

    Could easily be to do with your profile set up as lots of people in my office didn't have ActiveX enabled to be able to make the changes written in the code.

    Look in the Tools/References menu for anything marked as 'MISSING'

    OK - no more suggestions as I can't open your attachment. Excel reports an 'Invalid File Format'

    Sorry, can't help.

    I renamed your file and tried to load it - nothing happens; no errors, no message or anything but it just will not load.

    Sorry i think i gave the wrong information at the start, this is an vba add-in not a macro. I'm sorry but i'm new to excel.
    I hope this helps, if not still thanks for trying to help

    Active X is not supported in excel version 64 bits- only on 32 bits.

    Thanks this seemed to be the problem, i tested it on a 32 bit office version and there was no problem running it

    You are lucky coming to the right forum. I had spent over 6 months trying to figure out why I was getting this error.
