Automation Error Exception Occurred Excel 2013
a macro up vote 0 down vote favorite I've recently been having issues running macros on one computer running Excel 2010 on Windows 7 Professional. Whenever I try to run a macro, I get an indefinite progress bar with a message 'Please wait...' and the workbook grays out slightly in the background. After a period of time, I get the error Automation Error. Exception occurred and the automation error exception occurred project 2010 workbook closes. For all intents and purposes, the specific macro doesn't seem to matter, as I've written basic MsgBox Hello World scripts and they throw the same error. What's unique is that I do not get this error if I either (1) run the macro from within the VBE, or (2) have the VBE open in the background. It seems that having the VBE open allows me to run macros. I've done some searching and haven't found any solutions that matched my situation. I'd appreciate any help. excel vba excel-vba excel-2010 share|improve this question asked Apr 21 at 20:13 user3561813 3,3141417 2 This was asked a day or two ago... let me see if I can find it. Edit: see here. –findwindow Apr 21 at 20:15 @findwindow Thanks for the link. While it sounds like some of the symptoms may be the same, I'm not sure that it's the same problem. I'm not calling any userforms, and the error occurs even on the simplest lines of code. Again, thanks for the help. I'll continue researching as well to see if I can't figure it all out. –user3561813 Apr 21 at 20:29

The error produced says 'Automation Error Exception Occurred'. If I place a stop in the code and hold the F8 http://www.excelforum.com/showthread.php?t=999513 key down, the code runs perfectly (Excel 2013) but if I run it, it will crash. The code is copying a worksheet into a new workbook, adding 2 more worksheets, saving then emailing the workbook before closing. It goes through the routine about 7 times before crashing (sending only 7 email out). It's something to do with the email because I can bypass that code and it runs that part without a problem. Our office just upgraded all the computers to Office 2013 and I've got to get this macro running again. I had to email 100 reports one-by-one today and I didn't like it. I can put code up if anyone thinks it might help. But like I said the code works if I step through it.

It runs when pressing the macro button. When I save the file, close it and re-open, it crashes when pressing the macro automation error exception button. If I then close, re-open and now first save (before running the macro), I can run the macro successfully. The colleague who wrote the macro, can run it under all circumstances. With other colleagues, for some it works, for others it doesn't. Does anybody know what could cause this?

We'll probably need to see the code to help. 2. Describe "Crashes". What exactly happens? Does it give an error? What error? Do you have a Debug Option when it errors? What line is highlighted... 3.

Reinhardt Guest I consistently get this error when I get to this line in code. The workbook is saved as an .xls and I'm opening another workbook, converting it to a new format and saving the new workbook. oWB.SaveAs Filename:="test.xls", FileFormat:=56 The current fileformat of oWB is 56 and the file name is MyFileName.xls After Excel crashes I get the following error (sometimes) Microsoft Office Excel has encountered a problem and needs to close. ... Dueing the recovery, I get this message Automation error. Exception Occurred and I enter OK. I've actually put in On Error Resume next to see if I can capture the Err code, but it crashes before I get the code. When I try to open the Repaired version of the workbook I was trying to save, I get MyOriginalFilename.xls (version 1).xls: file format is not valid. OK, I'm pretty sure I'm using the correct file format, but it's not working. FWIW, I'm using a new laptop and haven't tried to run this code on this machine. I was on 2003 before the refresh and now am on 2007. I haven't tried to run this code in 2007 since I converted to 2007 a couple of weeks back, but I'm not sure if it's the patches or the code. I've had several security updates installed today. They include KB960803, KB959426, KB963027, KB923561, KB956572, KB952004, KB961373. I have no idea if they are related or not. When I run it in Excel 2003, (with this convention) oWB.saveas "myfile.xls" it works fine. What concerns me it that there is another application out there that uses the same SaveAs coding in Excel 2007 that once worked (although when I test that today, it's working fine) When I look at the folder I'm saving to, I see that the Attribute for ReadOnly is greyed out (no X, but not clear). Is there some way I candetermine if I can write to this folder? I did try to use similar saveas code to another folder with the same attributewithout an issue. I know there is a lot here, but this is driving me nuts. Ron has helped some earlier, but I have more info now and am posting a new thread. Thanks for any assistance, Barb Reinhardt Barb Reinhardt, Apr 22, 2009 #1 Advertisements OssieMac Guest Hi Barb, Try closing xls type the file immediately after saving and re-opening. I have had problems and I think it might be due to the number of Rows and Columns. If you open a new workbook in xl2007 and then save it as xls type then you can still access all the extra rows and columns until it is cl
