Weird error

[Guest]

I am getting the following error and I have no clue why:
Compiler error: Variable not defined

The error is showing up on:
Option Explicit
ScreenUpdating = False
(rest of the code deleted...)

What's the deal?

Thanks in advance,
Brad K

Hi Brad

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

will work.

Hi Brad,

Wild guess...

Option Explicit

Sub WildThang()

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

Rest of your code...


End Sub

Brad,

You need to add "Application.(dot)" before S"creenUpdating = False"
See
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

And the code should be placed inside of a Sub like this.

Sub Test()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
'Your Code Here
End Sub

Thanks all for the help. This did the trick.
Out of curiousity, why does one need to put "Application." in this instance.
Thanks,
Brad

Hi Brad

don't know for sure (someone else around here probably will), but i'm
guessing that as you have Option Explicit you're making not only variable
declarations required but also ensuring that the objects are specified for
the methods or properties and not leaving it "to chance" (although help
doesn't say this!)

ScreenUpdating is a property of the Application object, not the
workbook.
The Application has other properties such as Calculation etc.

Press F2 while in the VBE and you can browse the Application's
Properties and Methods
