From: maryj on 7 Feb 2007 16:01 Client is using Excel 03/WinXP. She has some code that uses the Solver. It worked fine with Excel 2000 but now is giving : Compile error: Sub or Function not defined. The solver addin is turned on in Tools, Addins. We even readded the Solver addin by navigating to the xla file to make sure it was looking at the correct file. Macro security is at Medium and macros are enabled. When we go into the References in VB Editor, we check the Solver reference, save the code but when go back into Excel, the reference is once again unchecked. We even used the browse button here to locate the correct file but it still won't stick. We've also checked the Analysis Toolpack and Analysis Toolpack VBA addins and still having problems. What else can we try??? -- maryj

From: Jon Peltier on 7 Feb 2007 16:48 It may be an issue of mismatched references. For instance, when used in Excel 2000, there would be a reference to Solver 2000. When it is next used in 2003, Excel updates the reference in the workbook. Then when it is sent back to someone on Excel 2000, Excel cannot find the reference to Solver 2003 and doesn't know to downdate the reference, and you get the error. You could manually update the reference every time, which is a pain after the second or third time you go through it; you can even programmatically update references, but this is loaded with issues, including security settings. Alternatively you could use Aplication.Run to call the solver functions, which is more straightforward and doesn't rely on references, only that the addin is installed: Instead of these: SolverReset SolverOk SetCell:=Range("TotalVolume"), MaxMinVal:=3, Valueof:=27, ByChange:=Range("Mass") SolverAdd CellRef:=Range("Mass1"), Relation:=3, FormulaText:=0 Result = SolverSolve(UserFinish:=True) SolverFinish use these: Application.Run "solver.xla!solverreset" Application.Run "solver.xla!solverok", "TotalVolume", 3, 27, "Mass" Application.Run "solver.xla!solveradd", "Mass1", 3, 0 Result = Application.Run("solver.xla!solversolve", True) Application.Run "solver.xla!solverfinish" - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions http://PeltierTech.com _______ "maryj" <maryj(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:496425FB-38CA-49B4-A773-D693C51EF67A(a)microsoft.com... > Client is using Excel 03/WinXP.

From: maryj on 9 Feb 2007 09:19 Hi Jon, Thanks for you suggestions. Here is how we modified our code: Application.Run "solver.xla!solverreset" Application.Run "solver.xla!solverok", SetCell:="$B$10", MaxMinVal:=3, ValueOf:="0", ByChange:="$B$11" Result = Application.Run("solver.xla!solversolve", True) Application.Run "solver.xla!solverfinish" It stops at SetCell and gives the error: Compile error: Named argument not found. -- maryj "Jon Peltier" wrote: > It may be an issue of mismatched references.
