The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

HELP! Excel 97 Macro Crash Error 32809, ActiveX Control Problem

Asked by MasterWoodsman in Microsoft Office Suite

Tags: , ,

History:

Excel file created in Excel XP.
Opened in 97 and added my own ActiveX Control.  This was done on the workstation that has Visual Basic 6 (sp5) installed and where the control was developped.

Opening on another station (without VB installed), all true VB controls no longer work.  It's as if the worksheet's VB code is no longer visible.  I can view the code, but it isn't linked to the worksheet anymore.  Any macro-bound Excel buttons (Forms 2.0) works fine most of the time, except sometimes I get following error
    Run-time error '32809'
    application-defined or object-defined error
on the line
    Worksheets("KJDocket").Activate  'This worksheet has the control on it.
Saving cause an Excel crash 50% of the time.  

This looks very bad, right?  But if I open the worksheet on the station that created the ActiveX control, everything works fine!

So you might be thinking that the control is the problem.  Alas, the exact same version of the control has been working on a similar Excel 97 form for over 1 year on non-VB stations.  The only difference I can think of is that that worksheet never 'touched' a version of Excel over 97.

I found some info (MS Knowledge Base Article 316703) saying that XL 2000 has a strange bug involving activeX controls and default printers with names longer than 18 characters!!!  So I renamed my printer and the save crash is gone.  Only the error 32809 still occurs, and only on the stations without VB installed.

Any Ideas???
