Excel 97 Pro: VBA5: Illegal Error

[Syed Zeeshan Haider]

Hello Experts,
I have Excel 97 Pro on Win98SE.

I have posted this question earlier under a different subject but couldn't
get any positive response and the problem is very serious. I am posting
again after uninstalling, reinstalling Office 97 Pro and going through all
code thoroughly without finding any syntax error.

I have a certain piece of code which *was* fully functional. Then I lost
Windows folder somehow. I did a fresh installation of Windows 98. Now the
same piece of code is causing following error on a function call:

==================================

This code was provided by MS on a web page whose address I have forgotten.
Note that this code was fully functional before the fresh installation of
Windows 98. But now the call to Split() function (n this code) is causing
the above-mentioned error.
Any ideas?
What should I do now?

Thank you,
