Hi , i have been given an Excel 2000 application to support and all our new office PC's are running Excel 2002 / 2003.

The application uses quite a lot of VBA behind the scenes, and when i try to load the app on the new PC's, i get "RunTime Error 438" (and also "RunTime Error 57121" after i click on "End" in reply to the message box).

Can anyone tell me what the cause may be please ? - my knowledge of Excel and VBA is very limited.

Thanks for your assistance.

Hi,

Run the procedure again. When it errors, hit Debug and post the code up to and including that statement.

Thanks Skip, please find code below. The lines beginning with "XXXXX" appear to be the ones causing the problem :-


==============================
Code causing RunTime Error 438

Public Function SetOrgFilter()

Dim sSQL As String
Dim rsOrgIDFilter As Recordset
Dim i
Dim sNTLogon As String
Dim otxtFilterDisplay As TextBox

' Get default org for this user.
sNTLogon = MyToolBox.OSUserName()
sSQL = "SELECT orgShortName,uo_orgID,uoDefault FROM vwUserOrg WHERE uo_uNTLogon='" + sNTLogon + "' AND uoDefault = 'Y' ORDER BY OrgShortName"

Set rsOrgIDFilter = MyToolBox.DBQueryToRecordset(CONNECTSTRING, sSQL)

XXXXX If Worksheets("MyView").txtOrgFilter_ShortNames.Visible = False Then
Worksheets("MyView").txtOrgFilter_ShortNames.Visible = True
Worksheets("MyView").txtOrgFilter_ShortNames = rsOrgIDFilter.Fields(0)
Worksheets("MyView").txtOrgFilter_ShortNames.Visible = False
Else
Worksheets("MyView").txtOrgFilter_ShortNames = rsOrgIDFilter.Fields(0)
End If

Worksheets("MyView").txtOrgFilter_IDs = "'" + Trim(rsOrgIDFilter.Fields(1)) + "'"
Worksheets("MyView").txtOrgFilter_ShortNamesSQL = "'" + Trim(rsOrgIDFilter.Fields(0)) + "'"
SetOrgFilter = " WHERE org IN(" + Worksheets("MyView").txtOrgFilter_ShortNamesSQL + ")"

End Function

Code causing RunTime Error 57121

Hi,

You appear to not be using worksheet objects properly.

what are...
[tt]
txtOrgFilter_ShortNames
LoadMyView
[tt]
???

Hi Skip, it looks like "txtOrgFilter_ShortNames" is just the name of a Text Box on the Worksheet, and "LoadMyView" is a Function behind the Worksheet.

NB :- All the code works perfectly if run in Excel 2000, it is only when i try to run it on Excel Version 2002 or 2003 that i have these problems. Thanks for your help.

Mark.
