Uninstalling the patch corrected the problem.

Interestingly, this Excel2003 problem occurs under Windows 7, and it has been
confirmed that KB973475 does NOT cause a failure with Excel2003 under Windows XP

VBA Code: Workbooks(StartUpFileName).Worksheets(“sheet1?).Range(“A1:Z70?).Copy

‘ this statement appears to not execute: there’s nothing to paste in the following statement, which then fails to the debugger
‘ (there are no ‘dancing ants’ around A1:Z70)
‘ [both WorkBook filenames are Excel spreadsheets]

Workbooks(CodeFileName).Worksheets(“StartPage”).Range(“A1?).PasteSpecial
