Hi
I've got a major issue on a machine where none of the ThisWorkbook or worksheet events are triggering such as Workbook_SheetBeforeDoubleClick are working.
I have checked the setting for Application.EnableEvents and that is definitely true. I think an Excel dll or setting something is corrupted but can't fix it. I've tried re-setting the Excel registry settings, repairing MS Office and deleting all .exd files but none of this has worked.

Please has anyone in the forum got any ideas on what I can try or do to resolve this issue?


Many thanks

6. Uninstall all Excel Add-Ins including COM Add-Ins before testing. - I had tried this but had left one Addin, a Reuters addin installed. On uninstalling this I was able to get the events working!!

Thanks for help again - resolved :)

Next step = Write nasty-gram to Reuters and tell them not to develop Add-Ins that intercept application-level events if they don't know what they're doing.
