I am getting 2 messages when I open Excel.
1. When I open Excel I get "Cannot use object linking and
embedding". I click OK.
2. I then try to open a file containing macros. When I
click on "enable macros" a message comes up saying "An
error occurred initializing the VBA libraries(14)". The
file then closes.
Hi John,
You didn't indicate what version of Office you're running, so I've
copied a Knowledge Base article below that describes how to solve this
problem in Office 2000.
