Dynamic Subroutine Generation Creates Compile Error

Oct 4, 2007

I'm am running Excel 2003 SP2 on Windows XP SP2.

I have a macro which modifies cells in a spreadsheet. But for brevity sake, I have an empty spreadsheet which has an Auto_open macro and two subroutines in it. The subroutines initially consist of just the Sub and End Sub statements.

The Auto_open procedure reads in lines from two text files (generated by another application), and inserts the lines into each of the empty subroutines. Auto_open then runs the two subroutines.

I have been able to get this dynamic creation of the subroutines to work for one subroutine, but not for the second. I receive the compile error: "Only comments may appear after End Sub, End Function, or End Property". I don't see anything wrong with the inserted code.

The modified subroutines appear fine, and if I save the macros with the modified code, close excel, rename the text files so they are no longer read in, and re-open the spreadsheet, the auto_open procedure and the two subroutines run fine. This tells me the code itself is okay, and yet it won't work during the initial run.

Below is the macro code in its original state:

Sub Auto_open()
Dim fso, f
Dim VBCodeMod As Object
Dim LineNum As Long
Dim StrFileName As String

ShowVisualBasicEditor = True

Set VBCodeMod = ThisWorkbook.VBProject.VBComponents("Module1").CodeModule

End Sub
----------------------
The contents of the read in file, %TEMP%subA.txt, is just one line:
MsgBox("inside SubA")

The contents of the read in file, %TEMP%subB.txt, is just one line:
MsgBox("inside SubB")

------------------------
When I open the spreadsheet the first time, it gives me the first message box from Sub A, but then generates the error and highlights the Sub SubB() line.

To duplicate the problem:
1. Insert the macro into a spreadsheet. Save and exit it.

2. Create the files %TEMP%subA.txt and %TEMP%subB.txt containing the single MsgBox lines.

3. Open up the spreadsheet. SubA will run and a message box will appear. Then the compilation error will occur.

4. Save and exit the spreadsheet.

SubA will now contain:

Sub SubA()
MsgBox("inside SubA")

End Sub

SubB will now contain:
Sub SubB()
MsgBox("inside SubA")

End Sub

5. Rename the two text files, so that the next time you open the spreadsheet it won't try to insert the lines from the files into the subroutines.

6. Re-open the spreadsheet. Two message boxes will now appear, one from SubA and one from SubB.

Error On Button Code Reference To A Subroutine

Mar 2, 2007

I'm having trouble calling a subroutine from a command button. It's puzzling because I've set up buttons before and didn't have this trouble.

Here is my button
Private Sub EPConversionButton1_Click(ByVal target As Range)
Convert_Hrs_EP target
End Sub
And here is the subroutine.

Sub Convert_Hrs_EP(target As Range)
End Sub
There's nothing there yet, but I keep getting error messages regarding the transfer from the button code to the subroutine.

The message is: Procedure declaration does not match description of event or procedure having the same name. The Help file says this means that my procedure has the same name as an event, but does not have the same signature. But it's not so.

Separating Code Creates: Run-time Error '424'

I've written some code that fires on a worksheet_change event. It worked fine for the initial bit of code I wrote, but then once I repeated it for several different ranges, I got an error stating COMPILE ERROR: PROCDEURE TOO LARGE. (This amount of code below works fine, it's only when I add the rest it becomes too large.)

I am trying to run create a simple macro that copies and paste special values - something I have done 100's of times but for some reason I keep getting an error message - even though I recorded the macro and didnt write it by hand - see below:

:=False, Transpose:=False

For which I get 'Compile Error - Expected Function or Variable'

Vba Macro Error: Compile Error Named Argument Not Found

Apr 26, 2006

I have some code that, although works fine in Excel 2003, does not in Excel 1997. I receive this error when I try running it:

COMPILE ERROR:
NAMED ARGUMENT NOT FOUND

Sub HPVAL()
Dim r As Range, myStr As String
myStr = "HP"
Set r = Cells. Find(What:=myStr, After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt _
:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:= _
False, SearchFormat:=False)
If Not r Is Nothing Then
r = r.Value
While Not r Is Nothing
Set r = Cells.FindNext(r)
If Not r Is Nothing Then
r = r.Value
End If
Wend
End If
End Sub

It looks like Excel is getting hung up on the "SearchFormat:=" portion of the code.

Error Message (Compile Error, Procedure Too Large)

May 20, 2009

I am looking for a more efficient way to write a macro (a sample from the macro is below). This is just the first part of the macro. I need to repeat these same steps (seen for row 5 below) for rows 5 to 50. My script worked until I hit row 35 and then I got the "compile error.." message. There must be a way to use "loop" to write this more efficiently, no?

Compile Error: Loop Without Do

Jul 20, 2009

VBA but familiar with other programming languages.

I have looked through previous posts with the same problem and I see that most people forget to add the "endIf" before looping. From what I can tell, I have ended all of my "If" statements.

The goal of this macro is to take temporary data and finding a match in other sheets and copying from "Temp" and pasting into the other sheets (possibly in the first blank cell, depending on the case) then deleting the row and moving on to the next row and repeating the process until "Temp" is empty.

VBA - Use A Variable To Name My Object - Getting Compile Error?

Mar 19, 2013

I have an application that will require I create 20+ objects from a class I have created call "cWorkCenter." This is my first project using objects in VBA. I've created a string variable called "Title." THe application will loop through a list of resources on a worksheet, assign the name of that resource to the variable called "Title" (eg. Title=Range("A1")), then create an object named whatever the string is that "Title" represents. For example, if the first item in my list is "Resource1", then the first object created should be called "Resource1"

When I do this I get the following error: Compile Error: Duplicate declaration in current scope.

Below is the part of the code giving me trouble.

VB:
Public Title As String
Sub Loader_OO()
Title = "Resource1" [code].....

Compile Error - Variable Not Defined

New to VBA and just trying to make some edits to some existing code. I have basically copied a pre-existing form and module and changed names from "Appendix" to "Drawing" as I am trying to replicate what the piece of code already produces for a table of appendices, for my drawings.

However, when I try and run the form I get Compile error: Variable not defined with lstDrawings highlighted.

Is this something that should be defined in my global module which I am missing?

Debugging RefEdit Compile Error

I sent the attached to a user who said it wouldn't run when the 'Draw Venn' button is click - some sort of RefEdit compile error. I can't replicate the error and can't find what's causing the error.

I had started using RefEdit control but couldn't get it to work the way I wanted, so just went with input boxes. I run this on XL07 SP2, other user has XL03 - not sure if that's relevant to the error they're getting.

Compile Error - Variable Not Defined

Jan 21, 2012

The following code has been used previously to enter data from a userform to a worksheet without a problem. However, since I added some new bits of code I am getting a compile error with the message variable not defined.

Here is part of what I have so far and the bit that is highlighted after the error comes up is the 'Set ws' line;

Code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Worksheets("Duties").Range("C5") = txtdate
Worksheets("Duties").Range("H5") = txtarea
Worksheets("Duties").Range("N5") = txttea
Set ws = Worksheets("Duties")
'find first empty row in database
iRow = ws.Cells(Rows.Count, 1) _
.End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Row

The code I have recently added:

Code:
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Set wsRes = Worksheets("Resources")
With wsRes
.Range("B1", .Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).AdvancedFilter xlFilterCopy, , .Range("L1"), True
With .Range("L2", .Range("L" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
cboTeam.List = .Value
