I've not be able to get Excel 97 VBA to run correctly on Win 7 without turning DEP entirely off. Access97 runs ok with just an Access DEP exception, But making Excel a DEP exception has not helped.
Specifically, Excel 97 crashes and closes when I (a) try to delete an add-in, or (b) call a Win32 API (even after I remove all the add-ins), or (c) use a Forms button (which is a call to a COM object).
I can (and have) remove all the add-ins by moving the files. I can (and have) remove all the unused references, including forms2.
Can you suggest any other DEP exclusions that might make Excel happy?
LibreOffice calc is like a 1997 shareware application compared to Excel. – Alan B – 2017-07-31T13:51:39.910
1Buy a newer Office version. The 97 version is too old. – magicandre1981 – 2013-08-19T04:01:26.240
Use LibreOffice calc (free) Your only other hope is to add all EXE files inside of the MS Office folder to the exception list. – cybernard – 2013-08-19T04:04:27.070
