Microsoft Visual Basic, Compile error in hidden module: AutoExe

Question

How do I get rid of error everytime I use MS Outlook 2003 or Word 2003?  I have NAV 2007 and Acrobat Reader 8.  Everything seems to be running OK but I get this pesky dialog box with the above error.  Does anyone know of a solution?

I tried this but it didn't work.

DOROTHY CHORAZAK,

This problem can occur when both of the following conditions are true:

The Microsoft Office Startup folder or the Microsoft Excel Startup folder contains either (or both) of the following Adobe Acrobat PDFMaker add-in template files:

Pdfmaker.dot
Pdfmaker.xla

... and Norton AntiVirus software is installed.

It could be some other add-in as well -- the error is a WordBasic error. The resolution is either to get the latest version of the add-in or move its .dot files to another folder.

See the knowledge base article for a step by step fix.

You receive a "Compile error in hidden module" error message when you start Word or Excel
