Automation Error Catastrophic Failure
2 down vote favorite I have an Access (2013) database that I use to store/process all of our data received from a Qualtrics online survey. The raw data downloaded from Qualtrics is in a csv file that's poorly formatted for importing to Access, so I've got a fairly complex Macro in Excel (2013) that I use to pre-process the data before importing to Access.

It just fails if I try to let VBA run it all from start to finish on it's own. Based on that evidence plus stories of similar problems that I've seen online, I suspect that the error is occurring because the Excel macro is taking too long to run (we recently added some new variab
