  2. Mar 19, 2018 Getting a Compile error in hidden module: link error when you’re opening or quitting Microsoft Word on your Mac usually happens when code is not compatible with either the version, architecture or platform of the application. It is caused by Acrobat DC, which installs an add-on that causes the error.

ALT + F11 should open VBA - but your error says hidden Module1 - meaning you might not even see the module in VBA for Excel.

You might need to contact the source / developer of the file..

Another possible issue could be your Excel Start Up folder - but that would mean you see the error with any Excel file - the following link explains it on an example - but it could be anything in that folder that could cause it - assuming it comes up ALL the time - not just with one file! https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/307410/you-receive-a-compile-error-in-hidden-module-error-m..

There are other possibilities like the file is corrupt or you have e.g. reference issues - without further details hard to tell..

What scares me is you write 'someone received an Excel file' - hope this source is trustworthy! Especially in regards to your macro security settings

A protected module contains a compilation error. Because the error is in a protected module it cannot be displayed.

This error commonly occurs when code is incompatible with the version or architecture of this application (for example, code in a document targets 32-bit Microsoft Office applications but it is attempting to run on 64-bit Office).

This error has the following cause and solution:

Cause of the error:

  • The error is raised when a compilation error exists in the VBA code inside a protected (hidden) module. The specific compilation error is not exposed because the module is protected.

Possible solutions:

  • If you have access to the VBA code in the document or project, unprotect the module, and then run the code again to view the specific error.

  • If you do not have access to the VBA code in the document, then contact the document author to have the code in the hidden module updated.
