Excel Application-defined or object-defined error 32809

This error occurs on files that are received from outside our company network.
A file created on our company network, sent to customers (a technical questionnaire) who then complete and return them, no longer works correctly. This occurs when the file is sent by email or on a USB drive and is opened and then saved, even with no changes.
The Excel version is 2010 32 bit on Win8 64 bit machines
The error triggers in many different VBA sub routines on lines such as Sheets("Home").Select, and on lines in the immediate window such as Print Activesheet.name

I have experienced much the same problem which I have documented in details here:
Excel Spreadsheet being opened in preview mode by some machines
(Note that I am only surmising the preview mode is the problem as I get the exact same error if I open it on the Development machine in preview mode).
My only workaround at the moment is to open the spreadsheet on the target machine and then replace the vba code and save the file locally (Copy Paste), or apply a digital certificate to the existing VBA code, although the latter only seems to work sometimes.
If I fix the problem on the target machine and then copy, open and close the file on the development machine when the file is sent back to the target machine the problem occurs again.
I have ruled out emailing being the problem as I have copied the file instead of emailing. 
The development machine had a number of Office applications and Windows 7 updates applied around the time that the problem occurred, i.e. one day everything is fine, the next day it is impossible to run a new spreadsheet on certain machines.
The highlighted error is also with a .select statement but I isolated the code and put it into a test spreadsheet and that ran okay so it seems to be a more subtle problem.
It doesn't happen on all the machines and I can't see any pattern as to what machines it works on and those it doesn't. They are mostly Windows 7 64bit running Office 2010 and 2013, seems to be about 50/50 split as to working and not working. 
I've ensured that the Windows Updates are up to date on all the problem machines.
I think it is the same problem and it helps knowing that someone else has experienced the same thing in order that I don't think I'm going crazy but it's a major problem for me and none of the suggestions so far seem to be close to explaining what is going
on.
If anyone wants samples in order to investigate the problem I am more than happy to send them the spreadsheets.

  • VBA Runtime Error 1004 "Application-defined or Object-defined error"

    I have code VBA code written in MS Access 2010 (.mbd file) to write data into an Excel file (.xls file). Below is the code to write data into that excel file. When you run this code, it always throws Error#1004 "Application-defined or Object-defined
    error". When you debug the code (F8) or run it (F5), it runs absolutely fine with out any issues. I am still not able to figure it out on what exactly the issue is. This code works fine when executed in MS Access 2007.
    Below is thr code that's getting executed and when it fails, the focus is set on the 3rd last line of the code marked in double astriek mark.
    Sub PopulateReport(appExcel As Object, testcam)
    Dim Site As String, intRec As Integer, i As Integer, cnt As Integer, intRecSet As Integer, cntr As Integer
    Dim F1 As String, F2 As String, F3 As String, F4 As String, F5 As String, F6 As String, F7 As String
    Dim F8 As String, F9 As String, F10 As String, F11 As String, F12 As String, F13 As String, CAMDate As Date
    Close
    i = 0
    cnt = 0
    cntr = 0
    Set cnn = CurrentProject.Connection
    rec.Open "SELECT * FROM Site", cnn, adOpenStatic, adLockPessimistic
    rec.MoveLast
    rec.MoveFirst
    intRec = rec.RecordCount
    Do Until cnt = intRec
    rec.MoveLast
    rec.MoveFirst
    rec.Move cnt
    Site = rec(4)
    Select Case Site
    Case "Fort Worth"
    cntr = 0
    recset.Open "SELECT * FROM Employee", cnn, adOpenStatic, adLockPessimistic
    recset.MoveLast
    recset.MoveFirst
    intRecSet = recset.RecordCount
    appExcel.Application.Goto Reference:="START_FW_CL"
    Do Until cntr = intRecSet - 1
    appExcel.Selection.EntireRow.Copy
    appExcel.Selection.EntireRow.Insert
    cntr = cntr + 1
    Loop
    appExcel.Application.CutCopyMode = False
    appExcel.Application.Goto Reference:="START_FW2_CL"
    go = appExcel.Application.Range("START_FW2_CL")
    cntr = 1
    With appExcel.Worksheets("Accts. > Clearing").[START_FW2_CL]
    Do Until recset.EOF
    **.Offset(cntr, 0) = recset(0)**
    .Offset(cntr, 1) = recset(1)
    .Offset(cntr, 2) = recset(2)
    End Sub

    What's wrong about it? It can only copy what you chose to have in the recordset. If you only want some fields or fields in a different order, replace
    SELECT * FROM  with
    SELECT Field1, Field2, etc
    CopyFromRecordset is bay far the best method and runs much faster.

    Please help.

  • Runtime Error 1101. Application-defined or object-defined error

    I am updating VBA code from MS project 2003 plans  to 2013, and have come up with the following error message. 
    Run-time error 1101: Application-defined or object-defined error.
    Any help to remedy the situation would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    jfrh,
    Normally you shouldn't have to make any changes to VBA written under Project 2003 in order for it to work with later versions however sometimes certain statements may need some "tweaking".
    The general description of the run-time error doesn't help us much unless we know a little bit more about your macro. We don't necessarily need to see the whole macro but we do need some context as a starting point. What is the macro supposed to do generally?
    Which line of code is highlighted when the error occurs?

    Dear,
    For your issue, If you are using non-segmentation account, please kindly check whether your
    fatherAccountKey is empty or not, this column is mandatory field for non-segmentation account.
    If you are trying to update chart of account with segmentation, please check the note 942939 below:
    Symptom
    When you try to update chart of account with segmentation, using the
    standard template of DTW 2005, you will receive the error message
    "Cannot find this object in B1 Application-defined or object - defined
    error 65171.
    Other terms
    DTW; update; chart of account; SAP Business One;
    Reason and Prerequisites
    Possible reason:
    1, Field     'Code' is blank.
    In DI API Help file 2005 for OChartofAccount, it says that Field "Code"
    is the Mandatory field in SAP Business One when Not Working with
    Segmentation.
    2, Field     'FormatCode'
    The Account Segment Separator '-'.existed in 'FormatCode' field.
    Solution
    1, Field     'Code' is blank.
    For updating existing chart of account with segmentation, This field is
    mandatory. You must fill it with the account code of that account you
    want to update. You can get the code of each account #_SYS00000000XX#
    from OACT table. Otherwise, we cannot update it.
    It is not covered in DI API Help file 2005.
    2, Field     'FormatCode'
    Please delete the Account Segment Separator '-'. For example, change
    11005-000-00-11 to 110050000011. System will identify automatically.
    Please make sure that the field is a Text format cell. You can change
    the format cell by right click the cell.
    Wish the information above could solve your issue.

  • Excel 2013 can't open unexpected error 32809

    I have an Excel macro application written in Windows 7 Office 2007. The application works on 3 PC's recently one PC was upgraded to Office 2013 and the application running on Windows 8 when opening the file in Excel I have unexpected error 32809.
    Accessing the  VB Editor and debugging it tells me can't create cmbRecon (combobox). All the resources are there nothing missing I have spent days researching the internet and I'm frustrated as hell can't find a solution. Has anyone
    had a similar problem?

    Hi
    I suppose the problem is that your file is corrupt. After that (very bad) Microsoft Update in December 2014 any XLSM File you safe with an updated Excel Version becomes corrupt. We are also experiencing serious troubles with our XLSM files. The problem is
    neither your vba code nor the references or any like that.
    Til now I found only the following solution: I have two Excel 2010 machines and one 2013 machine working. On the 2010 machines I uninstalled the KB2553154 and replaced the new (but corrupt, that's what I think) MSForms.exd (size 226KB) with the old (but
    good) one (221KB). Files created in this environment are working fine.
    With the 2013 machine I first tried the same: Uninstalling the respective KB2726958 and replacing the MSForms.exd. Unfortunately this did not bring the desired result. So I reverted my office to an earlier version,  (http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/2770432/en-us)
    which was the November release 15.0.4667.1002. Now I faced the problem that the activeX controls did't work anymore. So I deleted the old MSForms.exd. Now things are working... til now. Ah, yes, and I disabled automatic updates ... well
    May be this information might  help u

  • Runtime error 32809 Application or object defined

    My code is used by six different remote sites [exact same code]. I made some changes to the code, export the changed modules to a file which is then imported in the various site's program. Before I sent the code to the user I run a test to ensure there's
    no problems. I've being doing this for some time without any hazels. No suddenly I get this message on some of the sites at different areas of the code. For instance this is some part of my code:
    If ActiveSheet.name = "ABC" then tSer [public decl as long] = 5
    If ActiveSheet.name = "DEF" then tSer = 6
    If ActiveSheet.name = "GHI" then tSer  = 7
    I get the error on the first line [ABC]. My limited VBA knowledge tells me even if sheet ABC does not exits, the code should   do the next test?
    Any assistance would be much appreciated! I search for error code 32809 - No results.
    Tank you

    Hello Hennie,
    The
    Excel Application-defined or object-defined error 32809 forum thread states the following:
    Many users have run into this problem recently. This could be caused by an update for the Office application. Please take a look at this thread:
    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/473b1980-56b3-49ff-be71-3a60c0db048b/form-controls-stop-working-after-december-2014-updates?forum=excel
    There's a probabability that the customers outside the corperate network had installed the update, so when they opened the workbook you created, it damage the workbook. Please try the solutions provided in the thread.
    Also some users work around by adding some inconsequential comments after the Select method, or create a brand new workbook then copy the data and VBA code in it.

    what the error is in what I assume is a locked project it is impossible to tell you what the problem is.
    Did you contact the author as I suggested before?

  • Run-time error '32809'

    Excel 2013
    we have this worksheet that was created with old Excel version. it has macros (half the size of the file is a macro). whenever we click on the macro button we get:
    Runt-time error '32809':
    Application-defined or object-defined error
    when I click on the "debug" button, it says something about
    Private Sub CommandButton14_Click()
    Sheets("EAST shares (Pack)").Select
    End Sub
    with "Sheets("EAST shares (Pack)").Select"
    line highlighted in yellow. the weird thing is on a fresh install of Office 2013, the worksheet works fine. but if I close it then open it again, the above problem occurs.
