Compile Error

[Thomas]

Each time I load Excel (2003) I get the Dialog message:
"Compile error in hidden module: TBRun97"
Since this is a "new" installation of MS Office and no
modules were imported from my old Excel (97), I think
this error condition must come with the Excel (2003)
package.
1. Has anyone else had this error message?
2. What are the ramifications?
3. How do I rid the application of the error?
4. If this error presents no problem, how do I suppress
the dialog?

Hi Thomas,

See :

Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 272066
XL: Compile Error in Hidden Module Tbrun97.xls

http://tinyurl.com/5c6r2

Which suggests that the problem relates to two add-ins which are
incompatible with versions of Excel later than xl97.

TextBridge (scanner OCR software) addin has a problem. Move it out of your
XLStart folder.

The error is coming from TextBridge, a program that comes with scanners.
Search for your XLSTART directory, and delete TBRUN.XLA or move it to another
folder.
