SYMPTOMS

When you install Microsoft Office XP Developer and set all Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) tools to load on startup, if you then uninstall Microsoft Office 2000 Developer Edition 1.5, the VBA tools are no longer set to load on startup. When you try to set the String Editor to load on startup, you receive the following error message:
