Compile error hidden Module

Anonymous
Not applicable
we have recently upgraded to windows 7, and we still have several users
using windows xp. I created a autocad vba dvb file that works fine in
windows 7 but now will not work in Windows xp anymore... the error we are
getting says Compile error hidden Module.
I am thinking that windows xp stations cannot see elements for windows 7 in
the vba function. or maybe I am missing something when I had saved as?
any one?

Hi Rick,

This error message normally arises due to an AutoCAD or other referenced
DLL not being available or for the wrong version of AutoCAD or one of
its verticals. The "hidden module" purely means that you have password
protected the file.

Open the file in the VBAIDE and check the references. You will probably
see a "Missing" reference.


Regards


Laurie Comerford

Thank you Laurie,
I tried that and had no luck.... but I did figure out that if I create the
dvb.file in Windows 7 then it would cause the hidden module error on
everyone using windows XP.

Solution was: To Create the dvb.files in windows xp , because windows 7 can
access the modules from windows xp, but windows xp users cannot access
modules created in Windows 7. Which kind of makes sense....
