Visual Basic Error 53 Starting Excel Application

F

Frank

I have a user who starts Excel 2000 and receives the following error
message when it opens FILE NOT FOUND. It has a Visual Basic title
bar. The help message references Error 53 and a non-specified
unregistered .dll.

This only happens when he starts the application. He doesn't specify
a file.

He was experiencing a problem with a default file opening called
PERSONAL.XLS but I deleted the file and that problem is solved.

Searching the MS KB and various google searches do not help.

Thanks.

This may work (or may not--but it's easy to try):

Close Excel
Windows Start Button|Run
excel /unregserver
then
Windows Start Button|Run
excel /regserver

It'll be a little easier to try than reinstalling.

And personal.xls is a file that users store their own personal macros. That
file may have been important to the user. You may want to try to recover it
(and put it somewhere safe). The user may want it back.
