This is my first post. Greetings from Athens, TX!
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
Thank you for your help!
