Windows 10: MS Visual Basic Compile Error

Hello all,


This is a work-related question. In IT and have a user that uses some sort of approval/reject stamp in MS word. Well whenever he tries to approve the stamp VBA throws an error. I researched and found out it was because the MSCAL was missing so i added it but the error still pops up.

So once the error pops up. We have to click Run > Reset and then Tools >References and hit ok in references and then it runs just fine.


Anyone know how to fix this permanently? It will run stamps on the file that is saved but any new files that need approvals have to go through this process every time.

Compiled Visual Basic Progream Problem from recent MS updates


In early 1960 is when my computer experience began; analog at first then digital a few years later. Using machine language, then assembly code and the FORTRAN life became easier in the computer world. Sometime in the 1970’s my interest in astronomical computing got started and at first it was the old FORTRAN at work, but it was too slow to learn and develop software for long spherical trig equations, so I found BASIC on one of our DEC PDP-11 machines and that made life easier. Then a friend talked me into getting an Osborne PC, that was slow and had limited storage; but had C/PM assembly and BASIC in its floppy disks. Wow, life was easier. Later we all got 286 PCs, then evolved through the versions until some faster more user friendly PCs came along with Windows.

Along the late 1990’s I acquired Visual Basic 4.0 and while using C and other compilers I found VB easier and also could use it at home. Then along came Visual Basic 5.0 Pro and I’ve used it from then on, but lately MS seems to have fun messing with it until it is becoming useless. Usually I find a workaround as Windows evolved, then along came "FREE" Windows 10. Yeah, it’s free okay, but time will tell after having to buy newer software to replace old and reliable programming. I will overcome MS and their incompetent software engineers and make VB5 work again. They can’t keep out hackers so they try to keep us out too.

Any suggestions?

 

Downloaded MS Visual C++, need help/pointers

I think I'll try out a much simpler compiler, Visual Studio C++ 2008 is a little overwhelming for me atm. I'll learn the C++ language first, then see how I can make use of MS Studio.
Anyone got any suggestions?

 

Visual Basic #4

I suggest that you post to the Visual Basic Forums.

Msdn forums - Visual Basic - Microsoft

Cheers.
