Email: KB00686 - Fixing "Automation Error" in Excel after applying MS12-060 Product: PI BatchView / PI catastrophic failure 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 error catastrophic failure 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.

We are running a shared Excel (2002/Sp2) Workbook with various VBA functions. Sporadically, by just opening the Workbook with enabled macros and in shared mode, the error message "automation error - catastrophic failure" occurs (happens roughly 1 out of 30 times). Also Excel and VBA debugging hangs in a loop, and must be terminated by the task manager. Once the error happens, it is sticky to the workbook (workaround is: open with disabled macros, remove sharing, store, enable sharing again - but you risk loosing data). Problem is, that we cannot identify the cause, as the error occurs only with the workbook in shared mode, and you cannot debug VBA if in shared mode. I've added an error handler into the VBA code, but it is not called when the error occurs. Thanks in advance - Robert Guest, Oct 14, 2004 #1 Advertisements Guest Guest Here is the fix derived by MS: The problem could be avoided by two measures: a) make sure that no access to the shared workbook is made from a user that left extras=>options=>general=>username empty. As soon as two users with blank usernames access the sheet, the automation error occurs. To control the community having access, set a read+write password for the shared workbook. b) avoid user-defined functions with *long* procedure names. Hope it helps others.
