Error:

"Method ~ of object ~ failed"

 

Solutions:

There are several possible causes of this error.

 

If the error occurs at Startup:

1. @Risk Disabled:

   1. re-enable @Risk

2. Verify that "ignore other applications" is disabled

3. Verify that Visual Basic for Applications is installed and enabled.

   1. Launch Excel and then press Alt-F11. Visual Basic Editor should appear.

   2. If VBA is not enabled:
      1. Go to Control Panel » Programs and Features and modify Microsoft Office. 
      2. VBA is under "Office shared features", and it must be set to "Run from my computer".

4. Run a repair of Microsoft Office to fix any components that may be corrupted.

5. Verify that your version of the @RISK software is compatible with your version of Office.

   1. See Windows and Office Versions Supported by Lumivero

6. Verify that MS Office is installed on the same computer as the
   @Risk software (vs a virtual server)

If the error occurs during a Simulation:

1. If this happens with a large model but not with the @RISK examples, you may not have enough memory to run your simulation.
   1. See Memory Used by @RISK Simulations to determine how much memory the model requires.
2. This can also be caused by inappropriate COM type library registrations.
   1. See Removing Outdated References to Office from the System Registry for instructions on removing the references.
