"This workbook has lost its VBA Project"

[Carl]

Receiving the above message when opening Excel2003, blank workbook.

Tools -> MACRO everything disabled except for security which is set to medium...

I have installed EVERYTHING run from computer, including common VB support.

HELP!

And you get this when you click on the New icon on the standard toolbar?

If yes, do you have a workbook named book.xlt in your XLStart folder?

That's a template file that excel will use when you create a new workbook. If
that template file had macros, maybe it got corrupted and excel is having
trouble with it.

In fact, if you have a book.xlt in your XLStart folder, maybe it's corrupt and
excel thinks that it should have had macros.

If this didn't help (and I'd be surprised if it did!), you may want to visit
Chip Pearson's site.

He has some notes to help diagnose startup problems at:
