I have a minor glitch with Office98/OS9.1 which has just surfaced for
no apparent reason. When I double click an Excel worksheet file to
open it, Excel loads then comes up with a Visual Basic error message
"Unable to load DLL". If you click the message it goes leaving a new
blank worksheet open. From the File menu, the required existing
worksheet then opens perfectly.
Alternatively, if I go direct to Excel and open it first, it loads
with no error message and I can then open my worksheet.
Can anyone enlighten me as to what this means and how I fix it, short
of reinstalling Office98. The worksheet in question is quite
inoccuous with nothing fancy, in fact it is my daily temperature and
rainfall record with only sum and average functions and simple
formatting used.

Have you run a virus checker recently? It could be you've contracted some form of Visual basic virus. Alternatively I've seen Excel sometimes (most annoyingly) just do that. You could try moving Excel preference files out of the preferences folder, but that is (IIRC) not always successful.

Have fun,
