I got a laptop recently through work to replace my desktop. We use several excel based macros. All of my macros that only interact with excel work fine. But we have macros that get data and post data to another program and when i run those excel freezer and I get the (not responding) message. These macros work for everyone else. I've ruled out the security settings in excel, and the display settings for the aplication the macro is supposed to interact with. Any other ideas? I talked to everyone I know here who knows macros and they were lost. I tried googling it but the results are excel specific and my excel only macros work fine. I probably need to open a ticket with IT but that takes a while and they will probably either re-image my computer and just replace it and I'm hoping the solution is easier than that.
