I'd try this:
Here's the link to the full Office 2003 Service Pack 1...
http://download.microsoft.com/downl...4f731/Office2003SP1-kb842532-fullfile-enu.exe
The page that presents it and describes it:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=9C51D3A6-7CB1-4F61-837E-5F938254FC47
It's a huge file so it might take a while to download. You'll want
to make sure you know which folder you're saving it to. Give it
a smaller name... maybe "kb842532.exe" (without the quotes).
I would save it in a folder structure something like:
C:\DL\Updates\Off2003\SP1\
The path tells you exactly what the file is and the kb name is
just a general way to find the file again at Microsoft:
After you've downloaded that file, Cut the vbe6.dll from the
following folder:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VBA\VBA6
and move it to an empty folder:
C:\Backup\
NOTE: After you cut it and move it to the backup folder...
make sure it doesn't pop back up inside of:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VBA\VBA6
because Microsoft has WFP (Windows File Protection) and
WFP protects certain files, if they are deleted from their proper
location (the folder above in this case), it automatically replaces
them. IF that happens, you'll want to go to
C:\Windows\System32\dllcache
or
C:\Winnt\System32\dllcache
One or the other, you shouldn't have both folders in place, unless
you have Windows 2000 AND Windows XP installed on the
same computer, which I don't think is the case, but I'll mention
for your benefit. It's kind of funny to watch a file reappear
after you delete it. It's like a ghost inside the computer. <g>
IF that happens, delete the vbe6.dll from the dllcache folder.
What a pain, heh? <g>
Feel free to ask any questions. I tried to not leave anything
out, but if you have question about why, be as specific as
you can. I was once in a similar situation as yourself. In
fact, many times. <g> It shouldn't hurt to try this.

Thanks Jim. I resorted to uninstalling the Norton Internet Security
package. I'm still having the same problem. Unless you can suggest
something else, I may have to resort to wiping my hard-drive and
starting again. The only good news is that I don't have a ton of stuff
on this machine.
Thanks, Susan
