Hi Group,

Had a question and curious if anyone knows an answer for this: I recently had my company switch from Excel 2013 to Excel 2016 and I noticed several reports with Macros have all recently been crashing and getting Errors that are around lines of code like Workbooks.Add and the solution that I am finding has been to update to Application.Workboooks.add, seems kinda trivial to have to add something so small to make the code work again.

Anyone know why this is happening? Also, before when I was using the Workbooks.Add line it used to automatically add 2 sheets as a default and now when I use this command I am seeing only one sheet being added which seems to be the new default but if I add the Application line in front of the command it adds two sheets?

Any info is appreciated.
