hello... i've enccountered an error in my program.

i made access to a class module within the project, and when i run the program, having used one function of the module, i get this error:

no error number.

expected function or variable.

what does it mean?
how can i solve this problem?

thanks.

Never seen it offhand...

If the class module is in the program (and not in a separate DLL/OCX), have you tried to run the program with "Break on All Errors" in error trapping, or just stepping line by line through the code once it hits the class?

I'm of course assuming that the class you're trying to access has a variable assigned to it, and the routine your trying to access does exist.


The help file makes the error seem like you're trying to reference a routine that doesn't exist, or assigning a value to a routine that isn't a (Let/Get/Set) property.

JL, it happens that my error doesn't come up as a yellow highlight. that highlight comes in the containing procedure...

what the highlight goes to is that function after the 'cls.' and it's highlighted in blue.

i really don't get it. no let get set. just that it is a public sub, and i set it to a long variable.

my other functions work fine, but this particular one doesn't give in!

Could you post the code? It would be easier to find the error.

[Hope it's a public function that has a long not a sub.]

It wouldn't happen to be a "reserved" VB word would it (the routine name)? You may want to try to run with compile (CTRL-F5) to see if any error popups then too (it would eliminate any problems with the declaration of the routine - syntax)

And if you're passing a variable that's a defined type [array, or anything with multiple parts] to the function, it has to be ByRef, not Byval. Not that it's that, but potential problems that don't show up until accessing the routine, or "running with compile".

hey, JL... yep, i got mixed up with a ByRef but i got to solve the particular problem i asked help for.. and i'd like to post it a well so that others can refer to this.

when the error

Expected Function or variable

came up, i found that i had not yet set reference to the scripting dll in the reference menu of the project.

but, hey, thanks! you gave me a point with the ByRef
