outline, but no code writing. The file was opened as 2003 and was saved in the same fashion, was not converted to 2007 at any point. I saved it and closed it. I then opened it
System Error &h80004005 (-2147467259). Unspecified Error
on my original computer and after opening it gave me "Automation Error - Catastrophic Failure" message without an error number. Right after that it sent me to VBA screen and instead of having my file name under the Project Tree, it has "VBAproject". I click on it and can see my code and my forms, but the worksheets are not label properly plus they have this little blue icon next to vba system error &h80004005 them. I tried to open the file again by clicking Disable macros, and no error was given but obviously can't do much with the file. One thing I read around is about sharing and references. This file sharing options were turned off so that's not it. I then realized under VBA-Tools-References that the office 2007 is referencing different files for some of the selections, like Visual Basic For Applications, Microsoft Excel 12.0 Object Library, etc. I copied those files to the proper folders on the 2003 computer but that didn't do the trick. When I click disable macros and go to check the references in the 2003 version everything looks normal. Any ideas? I did quite of work on this file so redoing this is the last resort but I hope I don't have to go that route. Thank you in advance!

One example that would produce this is having some controls on a form which require a specific DLL to be correctly registered on a client PC.

Office isn't very helpful, it told me to update windows which didn't fix it. Google shows a lot of other people with the same problem, but all the responses they get are standard suggestions like updating windows, checking the help files etc. Yahoo answers even suggested updating Acrobat in case the error is caused by trying to save a PDF. The only ellucidation I could find from Google is system error &h80004005 someone who saw the error from a Powerpoint macro, he deleted an unused UserForm from the project then it let him save the file. My macro/workspace/workbook or whatever it's called only has one userform so that won't work for me. But it implies there's something in the GUI of that userform that's causing the problem- does anyone know what it is? Does anyone know anything about this error? Please help me.

No I haven't changed any settings recently. No there aren't any other macros running (I haven't even run the offending macro in weeks, just edited it) All it is is a single Userform that doesn't even have any code yet, just the GUI controls. A couple of TabControls, Panels, Buttons, Labels and Radiobuttons. No databases, no hyperlinks, no binding of controls, nothing fancy. Just GUI. Why is it breaking?
