User defined type not recognized!

[sharshra]

I'm using user defined type to list few variables. One of the UDTs is not recognized!!! Pseudo code is given below. When I try to use udtxxxyyy in sub / function, it is not recognized. These are declared in general declarations section, along with other types. While other types are recognized, this one is not. Strange . Is there any reason under which types will be unrecognized? Or, am I missing anything?

In the module code below, when I right click on udtxxxyyy, I get the error message 'Identifier under cursor is not recognized'. It is also evident from the fact that intellisense is not working too.

'General Declarations section
Private Type xxxyyy
    strAll As String
End Type

Dim udtxxxyyy As xxxyyy

'In the Module
Private Sub AssignValues()
    udtxxxyyy.strAll="All"

End Sub

Are you trying to use it in another module? If so it needs to be public, not private

Hi Kyle123,
I'm using in the same module. While other types are recognized, this one is not!!! Wondering what can make a type unrecognizable. I don't see anything wrong or different from other types to make it unrecognizable. Can any watchful eyes point to anything incorrect?

Can you post your actual code?

 

[sharshra]

I'm afraid, I can't post the actual code since it is bound by legal agreements. However, it is not different from other types that I'm using successfully in the program. But only one type have this problem.

Is there any limitation on the number of types that can be used in a module / class module? I have totally 6 modules, including the one having problem(udtxxxyyy ).

If you can't post your code, then we can't help. Sorry

I'd start by checking very closely for typos. Are you using Option Explicit?

 

[sharshra]

Yes, RoryA. I'm using Option Explicit. Unfortunately, I don't see any typos!!!

What I'm seeing is that any types that I'm creating now are not recognized too. I tried with a dummy type now & I see same problem repeating. While the types created before are working well, new ones are not . Is there any setting that would have made this change?

 

[RoryA]

Are you looking for the definition of udtxxxyyy or of xxxyyy? The latter would always give that message in my experience.

I restarted my laptop & to my pleasant surprise, type is working as expected !!!!! Not sure what caused the issue & how it was resolved with restart. I'm so much relieved that it is working now . Thanks to all who tried to share & reduce my burden. Appreciate your help.
