I have been using some VBA code for a few years now and it's suddenly stopped working on multiple computers. Only connection seems to be an update to Windows or Excel 365, i.e. it worked on Friday and now isn't!

I have checked for 'Admin rights', i.e. right clicked on Excel.exe and run as Administrator. I have checked propeties and ensured macros can run, etc. I have verified that the 'ocx' is registered in registry.

At a bit if a loss - any thoughts?
 
Did you try brand new Excel, Alt-F11 create a new Form, and run it?
Does that work?

Many thanks for the response. While you replied I had identified that *was* working on Tuesday evening and recalled updates from MS were installed.

I have compared to a PC that WAS / IS working and the following security updates were installed in the interim:

• KB4494441
• KB4499728
• KB4489899
• KB4495590

I had un installed two of them then the 'remove updates' button seemed to dissapear to resorted to restore system restore from 14th May (before updates and issue.

KB updtes gone and all working!

Does anyone know how to flag this with Microsoft as I found tha a similiar issue occured with KB security updtaes back in 2014 and was resolved when users highlighted!
