This workbook has lost its VBA project....

Answer

You get this error because during the installation of MS Office, the "Visual Basic for Application" was not installed.

By default this is installed, but you can uncheck it. "Visual Basic for Applications" is needed to run macros and add-ins such as ASAP Utilities.

Without Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) several Excel features in the following categories are unavailable:

· VBA Projects, XLM Macro Code, and ActiveX Controls

· Uncompiled Add-ins (.xla files)

· Menu Items, Toolbar Buttons and Shortcut Keys related to VBA

We still don't understand why Microsoft doesn't make this error message more user-friendly and just tells that Visual Basic for Applications isn't installed.
Quick solution

To solve you can simply change your installation of MS Office and add this feature.

1. Close Excel if it is open.

2. In the Windows Control Panel choose "Add or Remove Programs" (or Programs and Features in Windows Vista or Windows 7).

3. Select Microsoft Office in the list and click on the Change button.

4. Choose "add or remove features"



5. Select "Visual Basic for Applications" in the "Office Shared Features" list and set it to "Run from My Computer". Then click on the continue button.



6. After the installation is finished you will be able to use ASAP Utilities when you start Excel and see ASAP Utilities in the menu.
