Skew Driver

Thanks for the suggestion
I also have 2010 and I am not getting any notice to enable macros and I have the macros set to "disable all macros with notification"
but I changed it to enable all macros but it did not make any difference

Is the compiler error also due to the macro or is that unrelated ?
 
Just for comparison I tried the volatility profile and the drop down boxes work on that spreadsheet so I don't think the macro setting is affecting the skewdriver spreadsheet
 
hmmm.... have you run other spreadsheets that use macros and activex controls successfully? if so it's possible
there's some other compatibility issue with my spreadsheets.

i disabled macros on my system and i didn't get a compile error when i clicked the button, it gave me a message
saying macros might not be enabled so i guess your problem is more serious than a macro issue. the month selection
on the volatility profile spreadsheet isn't an activex control, like the date picker, it's just a list selection from the
data validation option. i deleted my copy and downloaded a fresh copy from my web site and when i ran it i had to
enable editing, because it was in protected mode, and then had to enable macros, but it functioned properly.

debugging through this forum isn't feasible because we'd have to go into developer mode, but i can offer a few other
suggestions. download a fresh copy and try again. the file size should be 31,434 bytes. i also uploaded a compatibility
mode, .xls format version. you can try this one also. it's at the same url except the filename is skewdriver.xls.

as long as you already downloaded the volatility profile spreadsheet, you can see if the macros on that one function as well.
for example, if you click the clear button, it will pop-up an "are you sure" message box if it's functioning. you can just cancel
the operation.
 
The file size is correct
I get a message before opening the file saying " The file you are trying to open "skewdriver.xls" is in a different format than specified by the file extension" so than I click on yes and the file opens without any other warnings other than the one at the top to enable editing

It could be an activex control issue since you said that the volatility profile does not have that
I am using another program that has macros and works but I don't think I have used anything with activex
I have to look into that and see if I can make a program that works with activex

On the volatility profile when I click on clear it clears the graphs so that works
 
I finally got it working
After doing some reading online it seems that I was missing a file named mscomct2.ocx
So after I found it and installed it it was working
Thanks for your help
