Compile error in hidden module: modQ

What does the error message "Compile error in hidden module: modQ" mean when trying to run a visual basic macro in AutoCAD and can it be fixed? I'm using AutoCAD Map 2010 and the macro has stopped working in the last few weeks. I use AutoCAD VBA Enabler 2010 with it. I downloaded Microsoft Visio recently. Could this have changed something in AutoCAD?

    Thanks I found the answer to my problem in an Autodesk support article. The problem was with some library files which are stored in the c:drive under "Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Microsoft\Forms".

    Once I deleted the two .exd files in this folder, closed down and then ran the AutoCAD software and VBA manager command again, it worked. It is something to do with Windows or Microsoft updates that change the runtime files in Visual Basic 6.0 and they don't talk to the older library .exd files anymore. Once you delete the old ones and run the software it creates new ones which are compatible (I think... not being an I.T person).

    Do you get this error when working with Office 2003 applications or only with the Auto CAD?

    In case you face this issue only with the AUTO CAD, you may have to contact the software vendor for more help.
