Hello,
I have been using the same workbook for over a month now with no issues. Today, upon clicking a button that has always worked fine, I get the error "Object library invalid or contains references to object definitions that could not be found". Can anyone help? I am completely stuck and my workbook is basically useless without the macros. I cannot even run a sub as simple as

VBA Code:
Sub test()

MsgBox ("OK")

End Sub

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Pivot Table Drill Down
Double-click any number in a pivot table to create a new report showing all detail rows that make up that number
Is it an activex button by any chance?

Hi,​
usual issue when using an ActiveX button rather than a Form button …​
Also as Excel needs to load all in memory and do not well manage it​
so if your computer does not have much RAM the better is to close a maximum of opened applications before opening Excel …​

If you can use a Form button instead, I’d recommend it. They’re much more stable.
