Compile error in hidden module?

[Mike]

Hi everone,

In a workbook I am using, everytime I try to open the file I am getting
a "Microsoft Visual Basic" window saying:

"Compile error in hidden module: This workbook"

What does that mean and how can trace it?

Regards,
Mike

Couple of things to look at.

Check this KB article.

XL: Compile Error in Hidden Module Tbrun97.xls

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;272066

Or this one.

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q307410
OFF: "Compile Error in Hidden Module" Error Message When You Start
Word or Excel

It points at PDFMaker.xla as being the culprit.

The others have pointed you to a cause that was/is attributed to a
widely distributed add-in. However, the same error message will result
from a problem in any add-in that is password protected or any COM add-
in. If the solution that the others have pointed you to does not solve
your problem, you should investigate other installed add-ins.
