Declaring variables - Option Explicit

[Bijl167]

Hi,

I have a problem which I hope someone can explain to me. An excel fil
with a lot of macro's in it uses no "clean" declaration of variables
so not Dim i As Integer i=1, but just i=1), so every parameter i
declared as Variable. On my computer this file works with out
problem, on other computers the file gives an error message "canno
find Library".

I know this has someting to do with option explicit, but my question i
how can I let the file work on the other computers without declaring al
the variables for the macro's (which will take me a couple of days)

Thanks in advance

Maarten,

So what you want is not to fix your bad coding style, but how to make
it even worse? The first rule of Excel/VBA debugging should always be:
declare correctly!
See here why and how:

As soon as you have declared everything, try again. If it still does
not work, come back here and we'll try to help you.

Please don't thank me in advance. Thank me afterwards if it works or
hit me in the face if it doesn't. ;-)

PS: I found 2 small shortcomings on www.excelforum.com:
1. You do *not* have to pay for access to 2. A *real* newsreader (not Outlook Express) is actually very easy to
use. See www.newsreaders.com for more info.

Maarten,

Check whether the other computer has missing links. In VBE, got to
Tools>References, and if any say Missing, uncheck them.
