"Compile error in hidden module: DistMon" VB error

[John Miller]

I just installed MSOffice 2007 Enterprise. Whenever I open or close Excel, I get a dialog box that says, "Compile error in hidden module: DistMon" Help says that the module is in a protected project , and that I should unprotect the project. But does it tell me what "project"? Nooo...

I'd appreciate any help you can offer.

Thanks.

Take a look here:

OFF: "Compile Error in Hidden Module" Error Message When You Start
Word or Excel

It points at PDFMaker.xla as being the culprit.

The link you provided was dead, but after doing a little sniffing, I found
that the error was, indeed, caused by pdfmaker.xla that was left over from
an old uninstalled version of Acrobat Pro. Thanks for the help.



By the way, are you the same Dave Peterson I worked with at Sanders?
Probably not...

The link worked fine for me a moment ago.
