How to suppress compile errors generated from ActiveX code being present on MAC

[MoshiM]

I have a workbook with code referencing activex objects that isn't supposed to be ran on if the user is on Mac, however after the user gets out of the initial read only mode upon receiving the document, ActiveX objects are deleted. Trying to run certain macros will then result in compile errors not run time errors. Is there a way to suppress these errors ?

With Application


    If .OperatingSystem Like "*Mac*" Then
    
        Navigation.Show
        
    Else
    
        .Run "'" & ThisWorkbook.Name & "'!Update_List"
        
         HB[COLOR=#ff0000].Sheet_Selection.Text[/COLOR] = "Select Sheet"


        'HB is a worksheet,  Sheet_selection is an activex combobox


    End If

end with

Search for conditional compilation in VBA help. Let me know if that helps/

Conditional compilation is indicated by the leading #:

#If Mac Then
  ' do nothing
[URL=https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=Else]#Else[/URL] 
  ' ActiveX code that's going to crash goes here
[URL=https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=End]#End[/URL]  If

Of course, the best approach is to eliminate the ActiveX objects in favor of less sexy but more robust Form controls.
