OT? Citrix Doesn't Like "Visual Basic Project"

P

PeteCresswell

In creating an Excel spreadsheet via MS Access VBA, I'm adding a
"sort" button to the top of each column.

Works fine locally or deployed over the LAN, but somebody's tripping
over it when run on a Citrix server.

Error# 1004: Programmatic access to Visual Basic Project is not
trusted


The lline of code in question:
--------------------------------------------------------
Dim myParentModule As VBComponent

13041 Set myParentModule =
myWB.VBProject.VBComponents.Add(vbext_ct_StdModule)
-------------------------------------------------------

VBComponent seems tb part of ...Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft
Shared\VBA\VBA6\VBE6EXT.OLB

"Seems" bc the path is too long to fit in the References dialog and
I'm winging it on the VBA6 part on.

Assuming I've got the .OLB right, does anybody know what's to be done
to make the problem go away? Something w/Citirx? Something w/
Windows Server?


For the masochistically-inclined, here's the whole schmeer:

' PURPOSE: - To put a series of invisible rectangles on a
worksheet which, when clicked,
' call a routine that sorts the entire sheet's data on
that column's values.
' - To create up/down arrows to supplement the rectangles
by servint as visual indicator
' of what is sorted on and how
' - To create/install a macro named "SortSheet" that will
serve as the routine that sorts the sheet
' ACCEPTS: - Row number of the row to have the invisible
rectangles installed on it
' - Row number of the first row tb sorted
' - Row number of the last row tb sorted
' - Col number of first column that gets a button
' - Col number of last column that gets a button
' - Col number of first column tb sorted (generally
same as first col to get a button)
' - Col number of last column tb sorted (generally same
as last col to get a button)
' - Color tb used when drawing the Up/Down arrows. Must
be valid in Excel's scheme of things.
' e.g. 10 = Red
' - Pointer to the Excel.Worksheet where the buttons go
' - OPTIONAL name of sort macro name. TB used if/when
we need to install multiple
' macros in a single sheet - as with Market Value
Changes report, which has a
' separate macro for each report grouping.
' - OPTIONAL column number of label that identifies
subtotal lines (so they can be removed and
' not confuse the sort result)
' - OPTIONAL literal value of subtotal lines' label
'
' NOTES: 1) BEWARE OF Null CELLS. If a column on the sheet tb
sorted contains Null values,
' the Sort command will break down and the user will
not be able to flip-flop
' the direction. SO: For strings and dates, if the
cell were tb Null, you
' need to populate it with a space. For numerics, it
must be populated with
' zero. Let the formatting hide the zeros if the user
doesn't want to see them.

It's an Excel security setting:

Obvious as soon as you point it out but that sure wouldn't have
occurred to me. Well, maybe in a few days it might've.
