I got an excelfile back from a user, and it behaved strange. Among other things, the
" ChDir ThisWorkbook.Path" didn't work. After some looking I found that in the VBA, the "Microsoft Excel Objects" contained "ThisDocument" which is normal, but it also contained "ThisDocument1", "ThisDocument2" and "ThisDocument3" which I have never seen before.

And they weren't possible to remove. This is not an urgent issue since I can copy the changes into a working book, but it would be interesting to know for the future...

Thanks,
Jörgen

I have heard of this before on rare occasions, seemingly following a crash in Excel or import/export of a workbook by OpenOffice, but I've never heard of a solution other than copying all the sheets to a new workbook or saving as an Excel 5/95 workbook (though you may lose functionality that way). I can only assume the file format has become corrupted in some way.
Note: I assume you did mean that the Thisworkbook1, 2 and 3 did appear under Excel Objects, not under class modules.

Yes, they were under "Excel Objects".

Thanks for the answer, Rorya. At least there wasn't an obvious faster way than the route I took by copying the changes :-)

Re: ThisWorkbook1-3 in "Microsoft Excel Objects" in VBA - solved

If anyone else has the same problem:

I actually found a way to get my Workbook cleaned up and working. I downloaded the (14-day trial version) of the "Excel Rebuilder" from
http://www.vbusers.com/commercial/Rebuild.asp

After the installation it took less than a minute to rebuild the workbook, and the "garbage" VBA-sheets were all gone while retaining all the functionality of the workbook. So it feels safer than the "save to Excel 95"-method, since that kills any camera-pictures, drop-down-lists and some other stuff.
