Need Help Initializing Excel Spreadsheet Program
Hi,
I'm using Excel 2000 which is running on Windows ME. When I open the menu spreadsheet of a workbook with macros, I keep getting the following error: Run-Time Error .... The Program is not initialized. An administrator must initialize the program by starting it once. I had no trouble installing the new Excel Add-In program. I am using a personal laptop computer. I tried running the program in safe mode to see if I could get around the error, but that didn't work. I'm not sure what the error message means. Or how to correct it. I would appreciate any help! Thanks! |

Which Add-in are you using?? - does it require features not available in
either Win ME or in Office 2000?? (such as .NET). Did you install the Add-in with your AV disabled (something to try, anyhow). I would suggest that you repost this question to the Office groups - where Excel specialist can assist. -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2006, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.crashfixpc.com/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "jb999" wrote in message ...

Need Help Initializing Excel Spreadsheet Program
Hi Noel,
Thanks for the reply. The add-in is a specialized finance add-in that came on a CD-Rom in a finance book. The only difference between this add-in and all my other add-ins (they all work fine) is that it required me to download and install Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1. Could the runtime error be caused by something in the Microsoft.NET Framework? I called the technical support group for the add-in. They insist that all I need to do is to log onto my computer as the administrator and run the add-in once and then all be fine. The problem is that it's my personal laptop and I am the only user set up to run on it so I don't think this can be the problem. I can add or delete any program. I can change the security settings, etc. of any other program but this one. So it seems to me that there must be something hardwired into the coding that's causing the probem. Thanks for your help! P.S. - Is there a way to tell for sure whether I am logged in as the administrator for running this add-in? I'm running Windows ME.

Win ME has NO Administrator/User mode - all users are admins.
Did you tell the support guys that you were using ME? - they may well have assumed that you were on XP. Have you updated the .NET framework since you installed it?? -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2006, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.crashfixpc.com/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "jb999" wrote in message ...

Hi Noel,
Thanks for your reply! Yes, I did tell them that I am using Win ME. In fact, the add-in was developed for Win 2000/ME. It does not run on XP. I'm almost certain that the problem has to do with the .NET Framework. I have other add-ins and they all work fine. I installed another add-in from the same CD-ROM and it worked fine. The only difference between all of these other add-ins and the one that will not work is that this one requires the use of .NET Framework. I haven't updated the .NET Framework. I used the one they supplied with the CD-Rom. The help desk for the software told me that I should use that one since it was tthe one that the software was deployed with. I appreciate all of your help! Thanks! Regards, Jon "Noel Paton" wrote: Win ME has NO Administrator/User mode - all users are admins.

Jon,
You do realise that Win 2000 is not Win Me? These are two very different operating systems and apps written fir Win 2000 will not necessarily run on Win Me. -- Mike Maltby jb999 wrote: Hi Noel, Thanks for your reply!
