I have a macro which runs correctly in of 2k. I have upgraded my w2k and of2k to both xp(clean install). Now macro gives "Cant find project or library" error. It stops on the left$ function with the error. I have checked with object browser and saw that it is and referenced dll file(under vba 6 directory in microsoft shared etc) exist. I have to run this macro anyway. Any help is welcome. Bgrds

Is the macro being run from within a new file, or an old file? You might try searching with "http://search.microsoft.com/advanced_search.asp", and entering the EXACT PHRASE "Can't find project or library". Although not specific to XP, there are many problems/solutions listed for VBA. My initial suspicion is corruption in the document containing the macro (especially if it's a template). You might also try creating a new document, and writing a macro in that document itself (not in the global template), and seeing if the Left$() function works from there. If not, try checking your installation and permissions options.
