MS Excel 2000 - Possible macro corruption! HELP!!

62 New Member
I have been building a comprehensive spread sheet in MS Excel 2000, with numerous pages. Everything went well (using VB) and the task was complete. To enhance the users input I added a "Menu" page with macros (command buttons) to take the user to various pages. Great all going well! Until... All of a sudden a MS Message

"Microsoft Excel for Windows has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."

Now I cannot enter the program - can anyone help me as I need a back door to delete the "Menu" page as I believe this may be the cause of the problem.

Try opening the file with Macros disabled.

I dont get the option! As soon as I try to open the file the Microsoft Message is dispalyed and then the whole of MS Excel closes! I have tried opening via Open Office with not much luck as it only allows 1 sheet to be imported and then there is no VB access that I can find.
If I could get at my code in Visual Basic I could recreate everything else. But I just dont how to get there! If I go to the VB editor in a fresh page I cannot access the code I want as I still need to open my problem file.

ANY IDEAS??

Greetings: I have Excel 2000 on my work pc. I've written some macros using the sendkeys command to control a mainframe application. A co-worker has Excel 2003. She seems to have a lot of trouble getting the macros to work on her pc. The macro is not too fancy - it just reads the data in the Excel file, send the keystrokes to the mainframe, and write back return messages. Is this an expected result in trying to convert to a different...

I'm writing VBA code in Excel 2000. I execute code which opens, one at a time, 10 Excel workbooks. It opens one, which does some manipulation of its own via a macro that executes upon opening, including copy / paste, then closes it and then saves it. Then it opens the next one, and so on. This process used to work fine until I modified the manipulation being done in each file to include a significant copy/paste task. Now when the file closes, I...

I am trying to write some VBA in Excel 2000 that scans down column L and inserts the Autosum command in each blank cell. Outside of VBA when I click the autosum command excel sums all the cells above it up to the blank cell above. That is to say that it automatically works out what the range is that I want to sum (and this is fine!) When I record this as a macro - and go to view the code it specifies the cells that the autosum calculated...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
