Hello guys, i have not a long time ago got Excel 2010.
I have a problem with it, In school we are learning to develop.
This means we do a lot of Active X objects, mostly Commandbuttons.
But on my new Excel this does not work. I never had Excel before on my computer, except a Trial for a month.
If i draw a commandbutton, it says "Cannot insert object"
Why is this?

Inserting commandbutton:http://i47.tinypic.com/2vnnznn.jpg
Error message:http://i48.tinypic.com/6s827a.jpg

I also get an error if i try to open a Active-X document:

This was the document i tried to open, but i got the above mentioned error:
rto_calc.xls - Speedy Share - upload your files here (1MB)
If you click on "Download:rto.calc.xls" it'll download

I'm not that advanced with Excel, so a little explanation where everything is is much appreciated!

also, if i draw a Form Control button, it says "an error occured initializing the VBA libraries (1004).
