Hi

the line:

Dim MyResponse As VbMsgBoxResult

which works on Excel 2000, is not working on Excel 97 (which we have at work). I'm getting the error:

Compile Error: Automation type not supported in Visual Basic.

Is there a 97 equivalent or a workaround?

Cheers
 

Excel Facts

Ambidextrous Undo
Undo last command with Ctrl+Z or Alt+Backspace. If you use the Undo icon in the QAT, open the drop-down arrow to undo up to 100 steps.
Why not just dim the variable as Variant?

Not best practice I know but should work.
