Answer 1

I had some issues that were resolved by a combination of things. In my case I was converting a VB 2013 project to 2010. I solved it by:

Open the solution file in notepad (.sln) Change these lines:

• Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 12.00
• Visual Studio 2013

To:

• Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 10.00
• Visual Studio 2010

I also had to update the references. I had the issue that it give an error every time I went to view designer. In my case it was:

• Microsoft Excel 15.0 Object Library -> Microsoft Excel 14.0 Object Library
• Microsoft Office 15.0 Object Library -> Microsoft Office 14.0 Object Library
• Reassign the Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications Extensibility 5.3
