An error occurred initializing the VBA libraries (265) - MS Excel
I am having a problem when i try to open an .xlt excel file.
In Windows2000 with Excel 2000 when I double click on the xlt file to open it I am given the Macros prompt and I click on "Enable Macros" (I've tried clicking "Disable Macros" but still have the same results). Then I am receving the message: "An error occurred initializing the VBA libraries (265)".
I click ok on the message and then the Excel application stays open but the Excel file does not open. If i open the Visual Basic Editor from inside Excel and then try to open the file I receive a "Device I/O" error message.
In WindowsXP with Excel 2002 I eventually receive a message box saying:
"Errors were detected in 'filename.xlt', but Microsoft Excel was able to open the file by making the repairs listed below. Save the file to make these repairs permanent. Lost Visual Basic project. Lost ActiveX controls."
When I click Ok the template opens but there is no data in it as there should be. There is just the header and column headings.
When I then save the file, the file size is goes to 33K instead of the 125K it started at originally.
I've found some articles on Microsoft.com that deal with similar issues but in Excel97 and when I've tried their fixes I still end up with the save problem.
I've tried opening other xlt files that contain macros as well and they work find. Any ideas of things I can try to get this file opening properly? Thanks!

Yes, when I use the Repair and Open tool in Excel 2002 is when I get the: "Errors were detected in 'filename.xlt', but Microsoft Excel was able to open the file by making the repairs listed below. Save the file to make these repairs permanent. Lost Visual Basic project. Lost ActiveX controls."
When i tried the VBA Code Cleaner I get a message saying: "Programmatic access to Visual Basic Project is not trusted (CodeCleanerMain).

I would like to request a refund. Nothing helped to fix this file as it was being corrupted during a Kermit file transfer.

Are there supposed to be VBA macros in the template? If so you may want to try "cleaning" them using Rob Bovey's VBA CodeCleaner http://www.cpearson.com/excel/xltools.htm
Have you tried Excel 2002's File Repair and Open tool? To access it, use the File...Open menu item. Choose your file, then click the triangle to the right of the Open button. Choose File Repair and Open.
Cheers!
