Run-time error using late binding

D

DaBookshah

Hi there. I previously created a different topic about this, but its
dissapeared in the mean-time, and I didnt explain myself very well
anyway it seems.

Basically I have a program written in VB, using Visual Basic for
Applications with Excel. Now this program works fine with Excel 2003,
but I get a run-time error with Excel 2000 relating to the signature of
the Range.Sort method. I am not using any of the last 3 parameters,
which were only added in 2003. According to what I was told previously,
the dependency is somehow "recompiled" or something behind the scenes,
so that if my program runs on a computer with excel 2000, it realises
this and uses that. But that doesn't help explain my error.

I am using late-binding for this, and I can see from the error message
that my program is still trying to call Range.Sort on Excel 2000 with
the parameters DataSortOption 1,2 and 3, which dont exist in 2000. I
have no idea how to fix this, but i think it might be related to the
use of late-binding?

Better to post the code that caused the error than all that error stuff.

Ok. Thought someone might be able to make something out of the versions
on those "assemblies". But anyway.
Offending line seems to be:


With currentWorkSheet

.Range(.Cells(4, 1),
..Cells.SpecialCells(Excel.XlCellType.xlCellTypeLastCell)).Sort(.Cells(4,
1), Excel.XlSortOrder.xlAscending, , , , , , Excel.XlYesNoGuess.xlNo,
1, False, Excel.XlSortOrientation.xlSortColumns)

End With
 
R

RB Smissaert

That doesn't look very normal to me.
How about record your sort in a macro and post that or
explain what sort you want to do?

This worked fine for me. I removed the "(" right after ".Sort" and the ")"
at the end. Some methods in Excel are funny about enclosing arguments in (
). Some methods require the arguments in ( ) if part of an expression,
otherwise the ( ) are excluded.


With currentWorkSheet

..Range(.Cells(4, 1), _
.Cells.SpecialCells(Excel.XlCellType.xlCellTypeLastCell)).Sort .Cells(4, _
1), Excel.XlSortOrder.xlAscending, , , , , , Excel.XlYesNoGuess.xlNo, _
1, False, Excel.XlSortOrientation.xlSortColumns
End With

Nope. Doesn't work for me (In visual studio 2005). Says "End of
Statement Expected"

Only now it becomes clear that your code doesn't run from Excel VBA!
You did say VB, but many posters say that when they mean VBA.
You will need to post the whole procedure, not just the sort statement.
