Hello,

When I open excel, I get the "Microsoft Visual Basic" error. This occurs when I open any document or even when I open the program and start a new document. I click the "OK" button three times and the error disappears and the program seems to work fine after this.

How can I clear this message?

Mac OS High Sierra 10.13.6

Excel for Mac Version 15.27

Thanks for your help.

    You are years behind on updates.

    Download a copy of the current version of AutoUpdate from this link, install and then run AutoUpdate to bring your installation to current update level, then restart your Mac. If the updater does not open automatically after download, double-click the downloaded .pkg file. Click this link to download the updater. The update is free.

    Dear Ryman10,

    Welcome to share any updates when you have time if you need further help on this issue.

    Best Regards,

    Cliff

    Cliff - thanks for the follow up. I feel silly admitting it, but all I had to do was update my excel (and other office products simultaneously). I really thought I had auto-update on, but I do now.

    Thanks for your help.
