I have a new client company using a model whose core macros were developed about seven years ago and have been used successfully by well over 1,000 users. (Not to brag - just to illustrate that I don't think it's anything in the VBA code that is the problem.)
Several users at this new company are getting Compile Errors when they attempt to use the first macro. Other users are not having the problem at all. The new company is very small, has no IT dept to speak of, and is very primitive in their Excel use. (Don't know if this is related, but the users who have the problem are both on Excel 2003, and had their macro security settings set to High. I had them reset to 'Medium' and restart Excel.)
I've seen this problem before, so I sent a copy with the VBA code unprotected to one of the users who was experiencing the problems, and asked him to go to the Tools, References so he could check-mark the missing files. But for him 'Tools, References' is grayed out.
So I had him close my model, open a blank one, and go into VBA to check Tools, References. It wasn't grayed out then, and there are a few DLL files I have checked on my PC that weren't even included on his list of options (Microsoft Forms 2.0 Object Library and Ref Edit Control). So I had him use the Browse feature to locate these two files, add them to his list and check them. Then reopen my model --
Same problem, and the Tools, References are still grayed out so I couldn't tell if the 'fix' took or not. then we closed my model, opened a new blank one, and rechecked Tools References -- but the newly-added DLL references weren't there.
Can anyone explain what's going on and what I can do to fix it?
