VBA With Compile Error: Variable Not Defined
May 27, 2008
I've used Excel for many years, but finally am learning VBA, using Excel Progamming for Dummies by John Walkenbach. Excel is version 2000.
I've searched extensively on Google and on the MrExcel site for the solution to my problem, but still haven't found it . Any direction would be most appreciated.
I'm trying to execute the examples in the book, and have gotten the error message "Compile error: Variable not defined" with "MyString =" highlighted with several of the examples. Could someone please tell me where I'm going astray?
Following is the latest subroutine I typed into the module, from page 124:
Option Explicit
Sub GetLength()
MyString = "Hello World"
StringLength = Len(MyString)
MsgBox StringLength
End Sub

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

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
.EntireColumn.Clear
[Code] .......

It works as a regular Module but when I put it into a "Private Sub" for a button its not working.
Basically I have a master sheet that I create Tests from. I push a button and it creates a Test for others to take. I want the macro to transfer from the Master to these so when they are done I can press a button and upload the answers to a tracking sheet.
It errors on the strSecondFile
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim wbk As Workbook
Dim NAME As String
'strFirstFile = ActiveWorkbook
strSecondFile = Application.GetOpenFilename
Set wbk = ActiveWorkbook 'Workbooks.Open(strFirstFile)
NAME = Range("A6").Value

I came across a weird situation using a standard print macro. One of my users could not use the print macro due to a compile error. The row that was highlighted was
.PrintErrors = xlPrintErrorsDisplayed
the error states that the variable is not defined. I removed that line of code and everything prints fine.
I tested this code out on excel 97 and it worked; is this sensitive to OS version? Will leaving this line of code effect anything big?

I am trying to put two subs into a macro. They work individually, but when I put them together, I get a "Compile Error: Variable Not Defined" Message. I was told I have to define the variable in the sub multipleif(), but I am not certain as to how to do this. The error message highlights the line I have bolded below.
VB:
Option Explicit
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim mth As Variant, txt As Variant, des As Variant, wdt As Variant, I, Cell
[Code]....

I am using Microsoft Excel 2010 and Microsoft VBA 7.0 on my system. I would like to eventually create a PowerPoint and insert charts generated in the Excel workbook. In the meantime, I cannot get the basic PowerPoint created.
The line in red is highlighted blue when the compile error "User-defined type not defined" message box appears.
Public Sub TryAgain() Dim myPowerPoint As PowerPoint.Application
'
' do nothing for now
'End Sub
I have set the references such that Microsoft Project 14.0 Object Library is indeed checked. The Excel file only contains this code in a module. All sheets are blank. Nothing else is written yet.

I have a two set of Macros in a workbook. One is to create a command button on a sheet and other macro will run onece the created commond button is clicked.
Macro runs fine. Command button gets created, but when I click the command button to run another macro it gives error "Compile Error: Sub or Function not defined" highlighting the code "Call Add" at the code entered for sheet. This code is added by macro in the sheet1. I am attaching a sample file as well as codes.

I get this error : Compile error : Sub or Function not defined. I found out that this might be caused by the solver not being referenced. But, this is fixed now but I still get the same error message.
I'm using Excel 2007 - Windows.
Here is the code :
Sub Macro1()
Dim i As Integer
Dim j As Integer
j = 4
For i = 1 To 4000
If ActiveSheet.Cell(i, 12).Value = 1 Then
ActiveSheet.Cell(j, 15).Value = ActiveSheet.Cell(i, 2)

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].....

Need the right direction to stop the error 'Compile Error Expected Function or Variable' appearing. I have both of the following codes in a module. The AddNewTenancy works perfectly but the EditTenancy comes up with the following error.
Both the Userforms exist so I know it's not that.
Sub EditTenancy()
EditTenancy.Show
End Sub
Sub AddNewTenancy()
NewTenancy.Show
End Sub

I'm getting a Variable Not Defined error
in my workbook_open I have the following code
Code:
Dim workround As Integer
workround = 0
in one of my sheets worksheet_change I have
Code:
If workround = 0 then
when I get to this I get the Variable not defined error. I am using this to bypass some code that does not always need to be run (it slows the workbook down). So I also have another piece of code that toggles workround from 0 to 1.
I have a feeling this error has something to do with Option Explicit. But My limited understanding is obviously insufficient to know what is happening or how to fix it. As I believe that I have defined the variable within the workbook_open code.

I am creating a UserForm to get macro running options from the user. The Workbook__Open calls the macro which shows the UserForm right after the variables are defined. Is there a way to avoid the compile error?

use code tags around code. Posting code without them makes your code hard to read and difficult to be copied for testing. Highlight your code and click the # at the top of your post window.
