Compile Error in AutoExecNew and Compile Error in Hidden Module MSExcel

Asked By cromwell ron 50 points N/A Posted on - 07/16/2012

Hi,
 
I’m currently using Microsoft Excel 2003 (11.6355.6360) Service Pack 1 and am receiving 2 error messages. When I open Excel I receive a message saying “Microsoft Visual Basic: Compile error in hidden module: AutoExecNew” while when attempting to close Excel I get a “Compile error in hidden module. Try a little testing before next release. ” error.

Can you help me?

Compile Error in AutoExecNew and Compile Error in Hidden Module MSExcel

I think what what’s causing it is either Norton Antivirus or the Adobe Acrobat PDFMaker add-in template files. What you can do is to download the latest add-in of Adobe Acrobat from Adobe.com or include MS Excel under exception from your antivirus.

Try both procedures and see which one works for you.  If it still doesn’t work try this. START>SEARCH ”pdfmaker.xla” or “pdfmaker.dot” then when you find these 2 highlight them and then press CTRL+X then click on any folder say, for example “New Folder” and then press CTRL+V and then that’s it.

Hope this helps.
