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.


Code: 
Function Interface_Parer(network)
    ' Requires a reference to Microsoft Scripting Runtime (Tools > References)
    On Error GoTo Interface_Parer_error
    Dim HeaderRow As String
    Dim FX0 As FileSystemObject
    Dim MyFile As Object
    Dim MyLine As String
    Set FXO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    Dim FSO As FileSystemObject
    Dim FSOFile As File
    Dim FSOStream As TextStream
    Dim PriorProgCode As String, ProgCode As String
    PriorProgCode = ""
    ProgCode = ""
    Set FSO = New FileSystemObject
    network = UCase(network)

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.
Code: 
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 Left(MyLine, 4) = "WFAA" Then

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

[small]Sometimes you gotta leave your zone of safety. You have to manufacture Inspirado. You gotta get out of the apartment. You've got to run with the wolves. You've got to dive into the ocean and fight with the sharks. Or just treat yourself to a delicious hot fudge sundae........ with nuts. - Jack Black[/small]

Here's my suggestion to reduce redundancy and to shorten up the main function.
Code: 
' [b]Untested[/b]

Function Interface_Parer(network)
   '...
   
   Set FSO = New FileSystemObject
   Set MyFile = FXO.CreateTextFile("C:\Documents and Settings\houldsgh\My Documents\DLYDINF" & network & "_Pared.txt", True)
   Set FSOFile = FSO.GetFile("C:\Documents and Settings\houldsgh\My Documents\DLYDINF" & network & ".txt") 'INPUT FILE

   Call Write_DLYDINF(MyFile, network)

   '...

   Call Write_Header(MyFile, network)

   '...

   Call Write_Line(MyFile, MyLine, network)

   '...
