Macros written in Excel 97 will not work in Excel 2003

[Guest]

I have written and run many macros in Excel 97 that when I try to run them in
Excel 2003 I get an error message, "Can't find project or library".
My original system was a Window 2000 with Office 97 installed. The new
system is Windows XP with Office 2003.
I am not using any special instuctions in the macros. One of the
instructions that it does not under stand now is 'Chr()'.
I believe that I am missing a library file or OBL file.
I did notice that under the references that the 'ActiveEX type library' had
'MISSING' before it. I don't know if this is the problem or where to find
this file.

I would be very grateful for any help.

Just uncheck that item and see how you go.

I don't know why this worked, but everything runs perfectly now.

Thank you.

I am experiencing the same problem, but I do not see the 'ActiveEX type
library' in the resources or any"NOT FOUND" items. Any other ideas?

Thanks

Run until you get the error. Go to the VBE

Make sure your workbook is the active project (perhaps only have your
workbook loaded)

It should be selected in the Project explorer in the VBE

then go to Tools=>References or

hit Reset and go to Tools=>References

No see if anything is shown as MISSING.
