Welcome to the Lounge!

I can’t help you with your WOPR problem, unfortunately.

The error message you get in Excel is associated with the Adobe add-in PdfMaker.xla. This might be resolved by installing an update to Adobe Acrobat or Norton AntiVirus – see You receive a “Compile error in hidden module” error message when you start Word or Excel.

Goede Avond Hans!

Thanks so much for your help! I suspected Adobe Acrobat, but wasn’t sure.

I have just tried completely uninstalling Office Pro 2003 and WOPR 2003 and reinstalling in whole new locations. The Excel error has gone away. But the failure of the full install and functionality of WOPR 2003 has not been resolved, it continues as previously reported.

I will continue to seek an answer.

Thanks again!

Also having this WOPR 2003 / Office 2003 problem of:
“Procedure ‘fmrWOPRCmdr.fintInstallAddIn()’ in ‘Microsoft Word’ encountered Error #5180 – Word cannot open this document template.”

Along with:

Microsoft Visual Basic –

Compile error in hidden module: frmStatusScreen

Run time error ‘5’ Invalid procedure call or argument

Microsoft Word cannot open WOPR *.dot files

I’m running Win XP Pro sp2. Have uninstalled and reinstalled WORD. Have uninstalled and reinstalled WOPR 2003 several time.

Office 2003 is installed to C:Office03.

For a while I was getting the “Microsoft Office Word has encountered a problem and needs to close. …” crash when exiting the program (the error report listed over 30 modules!)

Have cleaned out all Add-Ins shown to be conflictive via Registry trial and error. Did have Acrobat PDFMaker, Dragon Naturally Speaking 9, and OmniPage Pro 15 listed in Registry.

The only thing I am theorizing as being of note recently on my system have been the spate of security updates, especially to Office 2003…? Is this possible?

P.s. Have also been getting In Excel 2003:

Microsoft Visual Basic –

Compile error in hidden module: DistMon

Is this relevant?

Thanks for any help!
