OFF97: Error Message: "Could Not Open Macro Storage" When Euro Character Used in Module, Procedure, or Macro Name

• Microsoft Office 97 for Windows

SYMPTOMS

When you create a macro that contains the euro character (or any other European character) in the module, procedure, or macro name, you may receive the following error message:

Could not open macro storage.

CAUSE

The euro character is one of many special characters that you cannot use to name modules, procedures, and project items. Other European and Asian characters may also cause the problem. This error also occurs if you have used a space, period (.), exclamation mark (!), or the characters @, &, $, # in the module name.

WORKAROUND

When you name your macro procedure, module or macro, use standard alphanumeric characters from the English (U.S.) character set.
