Macros run in spreadsheet but produce errors when run in vba editor

When I attempt to run a macro from the tools menu in the VBA editor I get varying errors (tools -> macros). Initially I could open the macros menu but when I attempt to run a particular macro from the list, excel crashes and closes without any error report. I tried opening the file again and all the macros seem to run in the spreadsheet but I get the same error when attempting to run the macros with the vba editor. I thought maybe the VBA code file is corrupt so I have tried stripping the VBA code out of the file, saving it as a non-macro enabled file, and then reassemble a new macro enabled file. Now I get an "out of memory error" before the macros menu even opens in the editor.

Select all your Macros and Comment them out. If this enables your file to load and run then, one by one, uncomment each macro and test.

Ok, that makes sense. I repeated the method of stripping the vba code out, saving a new file, and putting the code back in and everything started working again without any changes to the code (no more insufficient memory error). It made me wonder if there is some type of hidden compiling log somewhere (since the vba code seems to compile automatically) that would help with troubleshooting? I guess I will need to see if I can reproduce the problem to try that method. Thanks!

During the process of creating VBA programs a lot of junk code builds up in your files. If you don't clean your files periodically you will begin to experience strange problems caused by this extra baggage. Cleaning a project involves exporting the contents of all its VBComponents to text files, deleting the components and then importing the components back from the text files.

32 bit Excel only, but I use the Code Cleaner addin all the time and except of my programming or my logic errors it usually fixes Excel-wierdness

Thank you, for the input Paul! My code is not particularly large or complicated but I have done many revisions to the VBA code and the spreadsheet as a beginner. At this point, I don't see any options for error handling beyond what I have already implemented but there is still a lack of stability in the final product. So, it seemed like the problem must exist behind the scenes with the Compiling/Interpreting process of the VBA instructions. Is Ribbon Commander a good solution to this problem? I found a video on youtube entitled "Ribbon Commander (RC): Testimonial from an expert about VBA code cleaner" (https://youtu.be/Kc-S0_NJyow?si=yzHpoMow85oRVBiW)

Unlikely, but possibly possible

Don't know about RC but like the CC it seems to me that they just automate the manual export and then import of the various modules that you already did

It is possible that something in the worksheets(s) is corrupted so you could try to copy and paste just the cells used into a new workbook and then copy the modules over


I don't see an attachment or code listing so it's hard to guess

Paul, I attached the whole VBA code minus redundant macros with identical structure but different cell references (mostly clear, copy, and default settings buttons scattered around the workbook). To summarize the code below, the workbook opens with virtually no excel UI as the file should not be modified and saved but rather used as a calculator with a very specific function. The workbook is locked with the exception of user input fields. Data from the user input fields is stored in text files that are exported from and imported into the spreadsheet. There is also a print function to print a predefined report as none of the excel menus are accessible with the stripped UI. I would appreciate any input you have regarding the code and any error handling that may be missing.

minus redundant macros with identical structure but different cell references (mostly clear, copy, and default settings buttons scattered around the workbook).

If you have all the macros in one module, it could be over the 64K limit (IIRC the limit is still there), I'd suggest breaking it up into some more logically devided modules

BTW, an unsolicited suggestion -- instead of "" you can use vbNullString since it saves a few bytes and I've been told processes a little faster, but I'd use .ClearContents instead of setting the cells = ""

In Microsoft Excel, there is a limit to the size of a module in the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) editor. The limit is 64 kilobytes (KB) for a single module. If a module exceeds this size, you may encounter issues, and it is generally advisable to break down large modules into smaller ones for better organization and to avoid potential problems.

Breaking down your code into smaller, more manageable modules also has the advantage of improving code readability, maintainability, and debugging. It's good practice to modularize your code based on functionality, which makes it easier to understand and maintain over time.


Keep in mind that these limits can vary between different versions of Excel, and it's always a good idea to check the documentation for the specific version you are using for the most accurate information.

Other than the 64K limit, nothing jumped out me -- sorry

Do the input files always have 123 lines since you're counting and not using EOF()?

No, I absolutely appreciate the input. I will implement all of your suggestions. And, yes the input files always have 123 lines. Would it be better to use EOF to find the last line? Are there any potential problems that result from not using EOF?

I actually left out some important context with regards to the stability issues. The errors I initially posted about seem to be resolved after stripping the code from the workbook. However, the stability issues I am experiencing currently are related to the use of XLS Padlock. Do you have any experience with XLS Padlock? I am not sure, but at this point the stability issues may be a product of my antivirus software stopping processes due to an unknown .exe running from XLS Padlock.

I was just wondering since I personally don't assume that an input file always has the same number of lines

I see that Padlock is some sort of code protecting, exe making tool. No experience with it, but my first guess would be that it is the culpret

If your users are normally non-computer geeky, maybe just the built in protections within Excel/VBA would be enough
