only takes a minute: Sign up What is causing “Automation error Unspecified error” on Worksheet_Activate? up vote 2 down vote favorite 2 I have a worksheet named "Dates" (object name is A_Dates) that needs to be calculated when it is activated (It may be worth noting that this is in my Personal macro workbook). I regularly have workbooks open that automation error access have too many calculations in the for me to have auto-calculation on. So I have auto-calc set to manual, and the following code in the worksheet: Private Sub Worksheet_Activate() A_Dates.Calculate End Sub This has worked fine for the last 3 months, day-in and day-out. Yesterday, it stopped working. It now throws this error on the declaration line: Microsoft Visual Basic Automation error Unspecified error [OK] [Help] I have tried changing how I reference the sheet, using: Sheets("Dates").Calculate and ActiveSheet.Calculate to no avail. I've also included error handling: On Error Resume Next which doesn't prevent it. I've even gone so far as: Private Sub Worksheet_Activate() On Error GoTo headache Sheets("Dates").Calculate Exit Sub headache: Exit Sub End Sub and it still shows up. I am totally at a loss. Help? Additional Information I have the following references, and use all of them in various macros in this workbook: Visual Basic for Applications Microsoft Excel 12.0 Object Library OLE Automation Microsoft Office 12.0 Object Library Microsoft Scripting Runtime Microsoft Forms 2.0 Object Runtime Microsoft HTML Object Library Microsoft Internet Controls Microsoft

There is not a problem with the add-ins. Re-installing our add-ins does not solve. The problem is often caused by un-installing a trial version of Excel 2007, a missing service pack or an Office patch that was automatically run by Windows.

Email: KB00686 - Fixing "Automation Error" in Excel after applying MS12-060 Product: PI BatchView / PI DataLink / PI Tag Configurator Version(s): Multiple Platform: Windows Issue If you have already applied the Microsoft patch MS12-060, you may see the error "Automation Error: Unspecified Error" or "System Error &H8000FFF (-2147418113). Catastrophic failure" when starting Microsoft Excel. When closing Excel with PI DataLink enabled, you may also see the error "Compile error in hidden module: modAddin." Solution Typically, these errors can be resolved by searching for and deleting all *.exd files on the machine (including hidden files) as described in KB00804. In some cases, the fix for this problem is to re-register MSCOMCTL.OCX. To do this, follow the steps noted in the Microsoft article "Unspecified Automation Error" after applying MS12-060.
