Setting reference WRQ Reflection for IBM Version 13.0.1 and Excel VBA

[ghh3rd]

I use Excel VBA without any issues, but when I set a reference to the "WRQ Reflection for IBM Version 13.0.1" library, I recieve a "Compile error - wrong number of arguments or invalid property assignment" - an example is that it happens on the word "Left" in my exting VB code line:

If Left(MyLine, 15) = " PROGRAM NAME" Then

Does anyone know why my VB code bombs when I set this reference?

Thanks,


Randy

How is the variable "MyLine" being set?

Thanks for your reply Mr. Wilson. Sorry for the delay in getting back to you -- my 10 yr old son broke his leg roller skating on Wed.

Where are you assigning a value to the variable MyLine? Sorry for the delay I've been out of town.

Here's the entire program. The "MyLine=" is right after the "Select Case"/"End Select" at the top. Thanks for taking a look.

Based on your example I don't even see why you'd be setting the reference to begin with. What am I missing?

Are you scraping something to build the file?

As you seem comfortable using a case statement I'd suggest nesting them to shorten your code some

e.x.

Select Case network
            Case "A"
                If Left(MyLine, 4) = "WABC" Then
                    MyFile.WriteLine ("E" & " " & MyLine)
                End If
                If Left(MyLine, 4) = "WPVI" Then
                    MyFile.WriteLine ("E" & " " & MyLine)
                End If
                If Left(MyLine, 4) = "WLS " Then
                 MyFile.WriteLine ("C" & " " & MyLine)
                End If
                If Left(MyLine, 4) = "KABC" Then
                    MyFile.WriteLine ("P" & " " & MyLine)
                End If

if you can post a sample of your DLYDINF*.txt file I can get this chunk cleaned up and working for you. You'd also have more replies with VBA help if you post VBA questions in the VBA forum. forum707
