    Hi ,

    Today I installed the MS Office 2010 in to Windows XP PC. it installed the Windows XP Service pack 3 also. then when  I open Excel , it comes a Error message. Then it should go ahead with Press OK . that Error is there as per below.

    "Compile Error in Hidden Module: This Workbook.

    This Error commonly occurs when code is incompatible with the version, Platform , or architecture of the application. Click "HELP" for information on how to correct this Error"

     

     

    Please give any solution.

     

    Regards,

    Hi Comdini,

    Try to start Excel 2010 in safe mode [hold ctrl key while startup] to see if this error goes away. Sometimes, this error may be caused by some add-ins.

    If it works fine in this situation, try to disable add-ins in excel 2010.

    Click the File menu –> Options link –> Navigate to Add-Ins options.

    Excel 2010 Add-ins

    Select Disabled Items in the Manage dropdown and click the Go button. This would display the following Disabled Items window using which you can see and also re-enable the disabled add-in. You can select the ones you wish to re-enable and click the Enable button.

    If it also doesn't work in safe mode, try to see this KB article about You receive a "Compile error in hidden module" error message when you start Word or Excel:

    Hope that helps.

    Hi Jennifer,

     

    Thanks for your comments. I found the issue. That PC have installed 3rd Party PDF Editing Application that Nitro 5.4. Then I uninstalled & installed latest version. Problem solved.

    Hi COMDINI, My problem was also with Nitro 5.4. What I did to solve this problem was to delete this two files:

     

    C:\Documents and Settings\USER\Datos de programa\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART\NitroPDF.xla

     

    C:\Documents and Settings\USER\Datos de programa\Microsoft\AddIns\NitroPDF.ppa

     

    Now works fine =D

    The same error you can see when ConnonControls crash by windows UPG.

    I found that happens after KB2598039, KB2597112

    More about that on this page. (pl)

    In english, here is the fix...

    Excel shows a "compile error in hidden module: thisworkbook" when opened or closed.

    This error occurs because 2 excel files are corrupt.

    To stop the error from occurring:

    If in Windows XP open the following folder:
    C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Microsoft\Forms     where USERNAME is the current user


    If in Windows 7 open the following folder:
    C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Forms     where USERNAME is the current user


    Once the folder is located, delete these 2 files

    ComctlLib.exd
    MSComctlLib.exd

    Excel should now open without the error message.

    Note: Excel will create 2 new files (with the same names) in the folder, but they will not be corrupted.

    Thanks.
