Does the error occur with all Excel files, only .xlsm, only files with userforms?<br />
If the error occurs only with a specific file, can you upload it so we can take a look?

Thank you all, I suspect that the 32-64 conflict is it. Which control is the problem is not disclosed and it happens for all Excel files (4 so far) before I can get anywhere. I shall uninstall 32, install 64 ... and hope.<br />

Sorry Jon, but I think you got it backwards. Typically, 32-64 bit compatibility issues arise on 64 bit systems, no t on the 32 bit ones.

unlicensed vba messages in Excel 2013

Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) enables building user-defined functions (UDFs), automating processes and accessing Windows API and other low-level functionality through dynamic-link libraries (DLLs). VBA is closely related to Visual Basic and uses the Visual Basic Runtime Library, but it can normally only run code within a host application rather than as a standalone program. It can, however, be used to control one application from another via OLE Automation. VBA is built into most Microsoft Office applications.

Microsoft Office is an integrated suite of applications that includes Outlook, Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint, Visio and InfoPath, along with a number of tools to assist in making the individual components work together. Coding within and between the projects is done in Visual Basic for Applications, known as VBA.
