    Hi
    i am trying to open a wizard on an excel file (.xlsm) but it fails to start and gives me this error:

    Microsoft form

    could not load some objects because they are not available on this machine.

    If you are able to open the file in Excel, you can try to save the file out into different formats and then re-open them in Excel and try to save them back as Excel workbooks.
    Click on File and then Save As. Choose SYLK (Symbolic Link) from the Save as type list and click Save. Then close the workbook.
    Next, click File and Open again, but this time choose the SYLK file. You may have to choose All Files from the Files of type list to see the SYLK file.
    Once the file is open, click File and then Save As. Now you will choose Microsoft Excel Workbook and click Save. Note that saving using the SYLK format only saves the active worksheet. You will have to save each worksheet individually and repeat this procedure.
    Along with the SLYK format, you can also save the file out using the HTML format. Once saved out, re-open it and try to save it as an Excel workbook. With the HTML format, you don’t need to save each worksheet individually.

    In case you can't handle your issue via the guide on above, then your excel file is severely corrupted and you may offer following sources below, last one was created only for complicated cases

      It sounds like whoever created that file used controls that you don't have. You would need to ask the creator what controls they used so you can find them online and download them.
