It sounds like you neglected to create an install package and instead just
copied your .exe to another computer or the other computer doesn't have
Office 2K installed.

Your are rigth that I didn't create an install package. Since I used VB for
Applications (VBA) I'm not even sure that it is possible to create such
packages. But I'm quite sure that it is impossible to compile VBA projects
because they are hosted in Excel (in my case). Therefore, I don't have any
executable files but a .xls document (with embedded macros).

By the way, I have a full installation of Office 2k professional on all
machines (in Office 97 I have the same problems, though!). I doubt that this
is reason for that problem...

Other suggestions?

best wishes,
martin

Office Developer Edition contains a Package & Deploy Wizard. Other than
that, I can't help you since I don't do Office apps.

Build yourself a form in Excel that has all the controls you need, you might even
add a few simple macros, then save it and compare with the one that is giving
you problems.  There are bound to be differences, otherwise it would have
worked properly the first time.  You will have to reconcile those differences before
making another attempt at loading it in....
