Is your XLL listed as argument to excel.exe in the debug setup? -- Jesper Lund

Re: debugging .xll a7zulu[ at ]gmail.com 6/29/2007 12:07:51 PM i actually have the .xls spreadsheet set as the argument...some book told me to do that. is that incorrect? thanks

Re: debugging .xll a7zulu[ at ]gmail.com 6/29/2007 12:11:29 PM i tried using the .xls and the .xll as arguments, but I still get the "The module did not load at the default load address" error is the detailed instructions on how to get a xll debug online that i could go looking for?

It works for me with .xll (the debug compile) as the only argument to Excel. I have done it in VC++ 6.0 and VC++ 2005 Express, without any problems. The only setup modification is that I have changed debug information from "program database for edit and continue" to "program database", see here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q194926/ but I am not sure that this would cause the specific problem you are seeing. -- Jesper Lund

You need to set the macro security setting in Excel to low; otherwise the XLL will not load, and you don't get a warning about that. -- Jesper Lund
