Excel 2016 vba 编辑器，无法打开 ThisWorkbook 模块

Question

I have an Excel 2016 file (.xlsm). After few weeks working on this file, now I'm facing with one small but weird problem - cannot open ThisWorkbook module. As you can seen in the picture, trying to open this module, window just simply freezes on the screen, any mouse's single or double-clicks on it have no effect.

Maybe somebody also had the same issue? What might cause it and how to resolve it?

Answer 1

this might have only worked for me but is worth a try

clear the office cache (C:\\Users\\username\\AppData\\Local\\Microsoft\\Office\\16.0\\OfficeFileCache\\0)

open the file on a different computer and name it something random. open the file on the first computer and resave file.

Answer 2

As pointed out in Han's comment, it's possible that the module is corrupted. You may be able to salvage it by right clicking the module and using 'Export File...' to save it as a class file.

If this succeeds you can attempt to recover your code by:

1. Importing the saved file, this will add 'ThisWorkbook' as a class file that can be opened like other modules.
2. If this doesn't work, try opening the saved file in Notepad. This should reveal your code in plain text.

Answer 3

I literally have this probablem every day or so. There is no answer, I have to save multiple files everytime I make any changes to the workbook. Its incredibly frustrating when all the macros disapear from the list and you can't open a single module
