Trapping Compile Errors

Is there a way to "trap" compile errors much like you would trap a run-time error? I have a computer in another office using an Excel VBA program I developed that has not caused troubles on other machines in other offices before. Now, for whatever reason, one specific module is giving a "compile error in hidden module" error. The VBA project is locked out and I would rather not give the password out. I'm not able to access the computer via the network (don't ask) and have no real way of diagnosing the cause.

Any thoughts?

The short answer is no. This is usually a result of version incompatibility. Can you test in the same version as your user?

Enjoy,
Tony

This is "kind-of" what I am working on. The VBA is written with Office 11 on XP. I have Office 10 on W2K, but I have not heard back yet regarding the operating conditions of the user. I think they may be quite behind. I have had such problems in the past involving, of all functions, the Chr() function. But, I think you are right, that was my suspicion as well. I was just hoping there was a way to determine what was causing the compile error without unprotecting the VBA project.

I've also resorted to "stripping" down the code to isolate the one specific module. Not sure it'll help but, we'll see.
