Office 2011 - Can't Find Visual Basic for Applications Error

I have recently installed Microsoft Office 2011 on my Mac and have been using the Dev tools to program macros in VB. Suddenly, it stopped loading it when I try to enter the VB workspace and throws an error stating that "Can't Find Visual Basic for Applications." The error tries to be helpful, but in a typical Microsoft way is just plain vague. Any thoughts?

I have the same problem, but have no odd characters in my hard disc name.
I am pteey annoyed as I bought Office 2011 pre-loaded on my new Macbook, but it did not have the VBA (which is why I wanted Offfcie rather than the free OpenOffice in the first place).
VBA is supposedly on the Office distrbution CD, so I went through the loop of re-installing Office 2011 with the VBA option ticked. No VBA apperared. After 3 times trying the install, still no VBA. The macbook has the VBA framework file installed in the applications folder, but the clicking the editor tab in the developer tab of Excel just brings up an error massage sayng VBA is not installed.
Not clear where to go from here. Try the Genious Bar at the local mac store?

  • How can I fix 'Can't Load Visual Basic for Applications' in Word 2011 for Mac?

    How can I fix 'Can't Load Visual Basic for Applications' in Word 2011 for Mac? I reinstalled Office after macbook was restored and now I've tried reinstalling twice but the same error turns up. There seems to be an associated error realted to the database, which send me to Database Utility. This turns up every time I open Word, then the VBA error message turns up 4 times, or if i click on Visual Basic Editor.

    in case it's useful to some other soul who searched Google in vain and found this page, I posted a fix that worked for me under https://discussions.apple.com/message/21732017

  • Can't load visual basic for applications

    I get this error message when I try to run a macro (I think it is a macro, I'm running Bookends with msword, and I run it off the automator menu).  I just did a custom install from the word disc (2011), for vba.  Any ideas?

    I reinstalled Word, and now everything works. 

  • Message Error : Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) is not installed - Office Home & Business 2013 - Lync 2013

    Hi,
    I have an issue related to Office h&b 2013 and Lync 2013.
    Office h&b is installed on many computers, and we are deploying Lync 2013.
    In Lync 2013 it's possible to share Powerpoint presentation (if you have a Office Web Apps server installed).
    With a PC using Office Pro 2013, no problem. Powerpoint sharing with Lync 2013 is working.
    With a PC using Office H&B 2013, I have a message : 
    "XXXXX.pptx couldn't be converted for presentations because Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) is not installed on this computer. Please
    install VBA and try again."
    VBA is installed and usable in all Office applications.
    Office H&B is a click to Run installation and doesn't permit to add or remove features.
    Lync 2013 custom install permit to choose the installed features. VBA is already installed.
    I searched in many forums, including this one, and... no answers, or better say, no good answers.
    Because :
    - It's not possible add VBA from Office H&B 2013 install.
    - Repairing Office does not solve the problem.
    Any Idea ?
    Thanks for your help !
    Regards
    Stéphane

    As far as I know, Lync 2013 is not available with Office Home & Business 2013, you can check

  • MS Visual Basic for Applications will not apply digital signatures

    When using Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications within any office application (Excel in this case), i cannot see the certificate store when creating digital certificates. It appears to be localised to the operating system but can't seem to find the issue.
    To create the digital signature within Excel i normally go to Developer > Visual Basic > Tools > Digital Signature.  When i select 'Choose', the certificates are not presented.
    Has anyone experienced this?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    As far as I know, If we want to use the digital signatures, we need to Digital Certificate for VBA Projects tool which a set of extra tools. I recommend we repair/reinstall the tool with a backup install CD.
    Then, we may follow the below links to reset a digital signatures and add the digital signatures in the trust list(Location: File>Option>Trust center.) to test if it is helpful:

  • Cannot load visual basic for applications

    I cannot load visual basic for applications on word doc

    The relevance to iTunes for Windows escapes me.
    VBA is an optional component of Microsoft Office. Unless you are an active VBA programmer any alert message regarding macros should be a red flag that something viral might be contained within the document that you are trying to open.

  • Setting Security Options with Visual Basic for Applications (VBA)

    Hi there,
    I want to print a PDF out of Excel via choosing the Adobe PDF-printer at the print-options-menu and like to apply a password to the PDF-files.
    Is there a possibily to set the security options via VBA? I can choose the Adobe-PDF as a Printer, so I hope there is the chance to set the password like i can choose other print-options in VBA.
    Thank You in advance!

  • How can i download the visual basic for mountain lion

    hi, how can i download visual basic for my mac on os x mountine lion?

    There is no Visual Basics for Macs. Real Studio works on OS X and is quite similar to Visual Basic. You should check it out, I bet it will work well for you programming course.
    http://www.realsoftware.com
    If not, you will have to put Windows on the Mac using Boot Camp or a Virtual Machine like Paralells Desktop 8 and use that to run VB directly. Of course, you can also use BootCamp but I recommend Paralells over Bootcamp.

  • Microsoft Office can't find your license for this application - multiple copies of Office 2013 x32 failing to start, Software Protection Service timing out

    We're experiencing a growing problem with our users in several different domains running in to Microsoft Office 2013 x32 'activation' issues.  We use KMS for licensing, which works properly, but some of the machines (~20-30 out of 1000+) sporadically
    throw the following error:
    'Microsoft Office can't find your license for this application.  Microsoft Office will now exit.'
    We know it's not an issue with the licenses per se, since they work on and off and we can force KMS activation correctly / talk to the KMS servers.
    It appears to be an issue with the Software Protection service not starting properly.  In Event Viewer, we see the following:
    'Software protection service failed to start due to the following error- the service did not respond in a timely fashion.
    Event 7000'
    This is occurring on a variety of machines in a variety of environments, all fully patched with the latest Office updates.  It's inconsistent, and the 'manually restart the Software Protection Service' solution is not viable as it's occurring on many
    different workstations.  Office repairs have also been unsuccessful.  
    Has anyone else come across this? Or have any idea why the Software Protection Service might be sporadically failing?  Maybe an Office update in the last 2-3 months?
    Thanks for any info.

  • I've downloaded Microsoft Office 2011 and installed it, but i can't find it on my applications or open it up in my downloads

    I've downloaded Microsoft Office 2011 and installed it, but i can't find it on my applications or open it up in my downloads. I can I get my microsoft up and running? - New to Mac

    Did you actually run the installer? If so, there should be a Microsoft Office 2011 folder in your Applications folder. Have you checked there and confirmed that the folder does not exist? If it does not, try running the Office installer again. Note that if all you did is open the disk image file, you have to now go to the image (which looks like a drive in Finder) and then run the installer.
    Regards.

  • Microsoft office can't find your license for this application. A repair attempt was unsuccessful or was cancelled. microsoft office will exit

    microsoft office can't find your license for this application.  A repair attempt was unsuccessful or was cancelled.  microsoft office will exit
    Please do help me for the same.  I have a valid license even updated the same today itself.
    Thanks

    Same issue, different question!
    my problem is that all my office apps hangs, then freeze and not responding (not even in /safe) and as the normal step of troubleshooting, I restarted my computer to safe mode in order to see if it happens because any third party process or service in the
    background.
    I get the same error! "Microsoft office can't find your license for this application"
    In safe mode it is impossible to start the "Software Protection" service.
    this was a base troubleshooting step up until Office 2010. what is the solution with Office 2013? (obviously, I'm not talking about clean boot, but safemode!)
    thanks
