Error messages when opening the example files:

If you are using older versions of Excel you will probably get some error messages when opening a workbook or running a macro. This is caused by the fact that I'm usually using the latest edition of Excel when I create most of the examples, and I haven't got the opportunity to test all examples in the older versions of Excel. Because of this the workbooks often refers to libraries that doesn't exist if you have an older version of Excel. To remove the error messages you can do this:

Select a module sheet in the workbook that causes the error message.
Select the menu Tools, References.
Remove the tick mark from the missing object libraries, in some cases it might be necessary to add a reference to a similar (older) object library.
Click the OK-button.
Save, close and reopen the workbook, this time the error message should be gone.

If you have any requests or comments to these examples you may contact me by e-mail on the address below.
If you translate any of the Norwegian workbooks to another language I would appreciate a copy.

Re: CustomWorkbookMenu.xls
This tool was originally created for use with Excel97 and I have used it a lot in my projects without any problems.
The error messages you describe are not anything I have previously seen related to this example.

CustomWorkbookMenu.xls
Thank you - a great help! I have used this in Excel 2000 but users opening in Excel 97 get an "out of memory" and "lost data" error messages. Is there a compatability problem with Excel 97? Would be grateful for comments.

Thanks again.
