    An Error Occurred Initializing the VBA Libraries

    When I open up my a spreadsheet (my ICT coursework) I get the error message "an error occurred initializing the vba libraries (256)". Is there any way I can resolve this?

    "Start Excel.
    You press ALT + F11 to open Visual Basic Editor.
    When prompted to install VBA, click Yes."

    I am not prompted to install VBA - it just simply opens.

    Hi, Zadeth,

    try having a look at Tools/Links - I can give you detailed description of what to do but sadly enough only in my native tongue which is not english (and I´m definitely having trouble translating everything accordingly ).

    Ciao,

    Hi, Zadeth,

    change to the VBE (ALT+F11), at the upper end you should see a Menu where Tools in my version is the 4. item from the right (including ?). If you open the menu the first item should be Links.

    HTH,

    What am I meant to be doing here? I don't mind if you're English isn't the best if you type/translate it - I should still be able to decipher it. ^^

    Hi, Zadath,

    the links listed at the top of the window should all be provided okay - if you find one telling you not available on this pc uncheck that link.

    Has anybody deleted software as of late (maybe deleted any of the files needed for Office/Excel)? If not and nobody else chips in with an idea on what to do or how to overcome the error message I´d lay my hands on my Office-CD/DVD and reinstall Office (and use customized as option).

    Ciao,
    Holger
