Symptoms

Consider the following scenario. You create a file in a 2007 Microsoft Office application or in an earlier version of the application. You notice that some settings for the Microsoft Visual Basic Editor are enabled in the application, such as the Require Variable Declaration option and the Compile on Demand option. When you open the file in a Microsoft Office 2010 application, these settings are disabled.

Cause

This problem occurs because Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) is upgraded to version 7.0 in Microsoft Office 2010. Therefore, the registry entries that correspond to the settings for the Visual Basic editor are located under a different subkey. In Office 2010, the registry entries are located under the following subkey:

HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftVBA7.0Common

Microsoft Office Visual Basic 6.0

In earlier versions of Office, the registry entries are located at the following subkey:

HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftVBA6.0Common
