Trying to load a very old Excel program

doodah · 1 Dec 2011 at 12:43

I have been given an old Excel program (a risk calculator) and can't seem to get to work. The manual talks about loading it on Windows 3.1/95 so it really is old. At first it came up with some dll errors, I think it even mentioned which ones so downloaded but to no avail. Since then it always comes up with these three errors (in the order you see). Is there any hope of getting it to work?

Host it and I'll have a look. If the code's still there you might need to copy it to a new spreadsheet.

I'm back

I opened the original files and saved them as .xlsm files. However when I open them - I am presented with the same problem.

Furthermore, when you managed to successfully open the master file, were you presented with this?

I haven't seen the full contents of the program but I know it should be a little more populated than the picture above.

I followed the instructions but can't get past the last hurdle. It says to remove the modules in the editor but I don't have that option (greyed out).

No. Going to try it on another PC.

Works on my work laptop (W7 x64 Office 2007) but still won't work on my work PC (W7 x64 Office 2010).

EDIT - Thanks for the help by the way.
