Excel For Mac Visual Basic

  



The toolbars (menu bar and quick access bar) are missing in the Visual Basic Editor in Excel. The new VB Editor contains a lot of the features we are used to seeing in the Windows versions of Excel, or Excel 2011 for Mac. In the video above I highlight. Close the Visual Basic Editor. Click the command button on the sheet (make sure Design Mode is deselected). Result: Congratulations. You've just created a macro in Excel! Visual Basic Editor. To open the Visual Basic Editor, on the Developer tab, click Visual Basic. The Visual Basic.

Hi all,
I am pretty useless on excel. Being able to do the bare minimum to get by. My hockey club has a spreadsheet we use for match selection etc which uses Visual Basics to help control and input data. Everyone else gets no errors when using, however I alone seem to get the Run Time Error 53. On clicking debug it gives the following info. Where the text in red is the highlighted.
Private Sub UserForm_Activate()
Dim Frmhdl As Long
Dim lStyle As Long
Frmhdl = FindWindow(vbNullString, Me.Caption)
lStyle = GetWindowLong(Frmhdl, GWL_STYLE)
lStyle = lStyle Or WS_SYSMENU
lStyle = lStyle Or WS_MINIMIZEBOX
lStyle = lStyle Or WS_MAXIMIZEBOX
SetWindowLong Frmhdl, GWL_STYLE, (lStyle)
DrawMenuBar Frmhdl
End Sub
It's worth me pointing out I am the only one using Excel for Mac. Could this be the cause. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Sorry if this isnt enough info.
Thanks in advance
