OFF2000: "Could Not Open Macro Storage" Error Message When Euro Character or Other Symbol Used in Module, Procedure or Macro Name

When you create a macro that contains the euro character (or any other European character) in the module, procedure, or macro name, you may receive the following error message:

The euro character is one of many special characters that you cannot use to name modules, procedures, or project items. Other European and Asian characters may also cause the problem. This error also occurs if you have used a space, period (.), exclamation mark (!), or the character @, &, $, #, or [] in the module name.

When you name your macro procedure, module, or macro, use standard alphanumeric characters from the English (U.S.) character set.
