in a network share environment) it should now open without any macro-enable dialog. Now you should be able to open it without crashing (since obviously the initial compile run on startup prevents the crash somehow).įor others using the file (e.g.

Leveraging external functions to Excel is great, especially considering the vast variety of functions the Windows operating system offers. open foo2.xlsm and do not enable macros In last week’s Blog post, I explained and demonstrated how Windows functions libraries, or DLLs, can be called from VBA.foo.xlsm to foo2.xlsm (untrusted name/file) Our final 6 to 8 step solution is quite simple since it seems to be a bug with the runtime on compiled macro code workbooks that have been saved and opened anew: as if it slowly internally crashes before it will disappear automatically (also from task manager) (sometimes without the immediate auto-restart dialog). When one debugs/inspects the variables, strange things happen (other objects shown than expected, visual sections of excel elements get completely white/broken).

Our problem occurs at definite, always reproducible code locations. So it must be some pretty bad compiled-code processing bug. (see solution below if you don't care about this :) )įor us it happened in code that compiles and runs successful in Excel 2010, 20. I experienced today that this can also resolve "Can't find project or library" crashes where no reference is actually missing and Excel crashes before you can even get to the reference dialog in the first place.
