I am suddenly getting the same error on my own Excel 2003 code, which has been unchanged and working for the past 2 years now.

  • I am also getting the "Not enough system resources to display completely" message just prior, but I am not certain that it is related.
  • This particular user also makes extensive use of fonts and colors throughout the workbook, and I don't know if we are hitting some internal limitation.
  • If I comment out the offending (red) statement, it will fail on a following font setting statement, such as "size".
Code:
    'Activate the Schedule A sheet
        Sched_A.Activate
        Sched_A.Unprotect Password:=DMSS.PW
        Sched_A.UsedRange.Clear
    
    'Check to see if the user has opted to display Schedule A
        If Configuration.Range("cfgWrkshtSchedA") Then
        Else
            Configuration.Range("cfgWrkshtSchedA") = True
        End If

    'Build the Customer name
        ActiveSheet.Cells(3, 4).Select
        Selection.Formula = "='Customer Data'!$B$2"
        [COLOR=Red][B]Selection.Font.Bold = False[/B][/COLOR]
        Selection.Font.Size = 18

Anyone have any suggestions?

Waterfall charts in Excel?
Office 365 customers have access to Waterfall charts since late 2016. They were added to Excel 2019.
Try eliminating as many "select" and "Selection"s as possible:

Code:
        With Sched_A
            .Unprotect Password:=DMSS.PW
            .UsedRange.Clear
    
    'Check to see if the user has opted to display Schedule A
            If Configuration.Range("cfgWrkshtSchedA") Then
            Else
                Configuration.Range("cfgWrkshtSchedA") = True
            End If
    'Build the Customer name
            With .Cells(3, 4)
                .Formula = "='Customer Data'!$B$2"
                .Font.Bold = False
                .Font.Size = 18
            End With
        End With
