Can't run macro as normal user

[Guest]

Hi all

I have this odd problem. One of our users can't run a macro in a Excel XP
spreadsheet. She's getting an Run-time error '1004' Application-defined or
object-defined error. When I log on with my administrative account on the
same Pc the macro runs fine.

What could be the cause of that?

Kind Regards
Henrik

A '1004' error is essentially meaningless. It is a generic error that means
"something went wrong but I'm not going to tell you what". Any one of
hundreds of things could cause a 1004 error. Post the code in question and
indicate what line of code causes the error.

You don't need to post the entire procedure. Narrow it down to the critical
10 or so lines (with variable declarations) that can be copy/pasted in to
the VBA Editor. Mark which line causes the problem.

Hi Joel

Thanks for the help. I think you are absolutely right,... it is a permission
problem.

Kind Regards

The macro is probably access some files that she doesn't have permission to
access. Open up the visual basic editor under the tools macro window. the
program should stop when it gets to the errror. Move the mouse over the
different variables to see what file name has the problem.
