Visual Basic Editor
I have just installed Office Small Business Edition 2003.
In trying to run Excel programs from an Office 97 installation on an old computer, I cannot find out how to get the Visual Basic Editor to activate. on ALT/F11, all I get is a black screen and the help files are no help. |

Visual Basic Editor
I don't use Office2003, but maybe you didn't install the VBA portion of the
program. (It's optional.) I'd close excel and try reinstalling and make sure VBA is selected. Keith Close wrote: I have just installed Office Small Business Edition 2003.

Visual Basic Editor
Prior to your response, Dave, I reinstalled Office 2003 but
I made no special selection to install VBA. The same problem with running VBA macros recurred. Then I deleted the desktop shortcut )which remained after uninstalling) and ran Excel from Programs/Office/Office11/Excel. Lo and behold, the macros in my program ran, and the Visual Basic Editor displayed my program code! I suspect the shortcut icon was calling Excel from somewhere else or some other path---or not. It is still a mystery. -----Original Message----- I don't use Office2003, but maybe you didn't install the VBA portion of the program. (It's optional.)
