Another Annoying Error message!

[Claudette]

When I open Excel, I get the error "Subscript out of range" in a dialog box, and then an OK button. When you click ok, the application starts normally. What does this mean????

It means that you have code on the Workbook_Open event that has code that is no longer valid.

Hit Alt-F11. In the top-left window, double-click the ThisWorkbook object under YOUR file's name. You'll see the code.

If you are given a button to DEBUG along with that error message, you can hit it, and it'll take you to the line of code that isn't working.

I fear that the fact that she mentions only an ok button means that the code maybe protected.

unless you have the password then you may have to live with the error

lets hope not

Hi Claudette

If it is code in the Workbook_open event AND it's protected AND you don't know the password, you can open this workbook from within Excel while holding down the shift key. This will prevent any Workbook open code running.

PS
Hey tuggy, when are you going to post your picture?
