Compile Error

[GregR]

I use ExcelXP at home and Excel 2000 here at work. I am getting a compile
error on this line at work:

myStr = LCase(.Formula)

This module works at home but not here at work. Why? TIA

I think you may not have the Analysis Toolpak add-in turned on at work. To
do this, select TOOLS / ADD-INS... then make sure 'Analysis Toolpak' and
'Analysis Toolpak - VBA' are checked.

I'd check for any missing references in the VBE.

With your project selected, click on tools|references

Look for Missing. When you find it, you'll have to decide whether you need that
reference or if you can delete it.

If you need it (or something like it), you may want to consider using late
binding.

Your code can find the current version for each pc and use that.

Here are some more extensive references on binding:

Dave, here is the code I'm using, it may even be some of yours. I can't find
any missing references. Am I missing something?

Sub BreakLinks()

Dim wks As Worksheet
Dim rng As Range
Dim myCell As Range
Dim myStr As String

For Each wks In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
Set rng = Nothing
On Error Resume Next
Set rng = wks.UsedRange.Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeFormulas)
On Error GoTo 0
If rng Is Nothing Then
'do nothing--no formulas
Else
For Each myCell In rng.Cells
With myCell
Code fails here ----- myStr = LCase(.Formula)
If InStr(1, myStr, ".xls") > 0 _
And InStr(1, myStr, "!") > 0 _
And InStr(1, myStr, "]") > 0 _
And InStr(1, myStr, "[") > 0 Then
'maybe it's a link
.Value = .Value
End If
End With
Next myCell
End If
Next wks
End Sub

The code fails on the noted line. TIA

It's not a problem with the code. You have to go to the pc that has the
trouble, then load up that workbook.

Then go to the VBE and then select that project.

Then you'll look in Tools|References and scroll through that list.

Code fails here ----- myStr = LCase(.Formula)

That line shouldn't fail.

If you use Word or Outlook in this project (and if the code you posted is the
only thing in it, then you don't.)

You can remove the references.

In fact, you may want to remove the reference in the original workbook and
redistribute that saved copy.

If you actually use Word or Outlook, you may want to look into that late-binding
stuff.

Another link for late binding using Outlook:

Dick Kusleika has a web page at:
http://www.dicks-clicks.com/excel/olBinding.htm
that explains this with Outlook
