How do I fix the VBA syntax error?

The DoneEx XCell Compiler makes a compilation of the VBA code by using our VBA compiler. The way how our VBA compiler works is absolutely different from the VBA interpreter which is embedded in Excel. If the VBA code contains syntax errors our VBA compiler interrupts compilation and protected VBA code is not generated. This means that all of the VBA syntax errors have to be fixed in the original VBA code before compilation. This is required for the product to work correctly.

To check for VBA syntax errors, start your XLS workbook in Excel and follow the path:
VBA Project main menu >> Debug >> Compile VBA Project
