Defined Enum's used in Function Calls don't seem to work anymore. Has something changed?

This an example of an Enum definition
VBA Code:
Enum XXX
    X1 = 1
    X2 = 2
End Enum

I will define a function I will call "Test
VBA Code:
Function Test(Arg as XXX)
   ' Some Code
End Function

When I type in
VBA Code:
Call Test(
all I see is
VBA Code:
Test:Display as XXX)
and no drop-down list appears where I use to see a Dropdown list where I could select either "X1" and "X2".

If you use a VBA non-Enum term like "Boolean" as in "Call Test(Arg as Boolean)", you see
a Dropdown list showing"True" and "False".

Any idea what I have done wrong, or has something changed in VBA?

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
Instead of :
VBA Code:
Call Test(
Try :
VBA Code:
Call Test(xxx

I don’t understand how this is not monitored. I am a “Board Regular” and have been for years.

Could you please explain.

Thanks,

After much energy trying to figure this out, I find that if I start a new workbook, everything works fine. However when I try to do the same thing in the original workbook it doesn't.

So if something looks impossible, try testing it in a new workbook.

Much embarassed. In in one of the Workbooks the Name was "Data_Err_Msg_Knt" and in the other workbook it was "Data_Msg_Err_Knt".
