Referencing a workbook containing VBA

Hello,

I tried to apply what we learned at the beginning of the week and it works.

Before the course, I had few reports using similar pieces of codes. Hence, I decided to store all the codes and some look-up tables in a separate spreadsheet that all my reports would access.

In order to do so, when I try to attach a workbook to the code (in VBA: Tools – References – Browse ) to the VBA, I get the following error message: “Name conflicts with existing module, project or library”. Even though, it does not look like there should be a conflict.

Does any one have any idea on how could this be fixed?

Thanks a lot

Florian

RE: Referencing a workbook containing VBA

Hi Florian

Thanks for your question

I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to do. I don't understand what you mean by "attach(ing) a workbook to the code".

Could you clarify this for me?

Thanks

Stephen

RE: Referencing a workbook containing VBA

Hello,

What I was trying to do is to reference another workbook within the VBA editor. I think that it needs to be done in the same way as referencing "Microsoft Office 10.0 Object Library".

Please let me know if that helps.

Best Regards,

Florian

Hide separate columns in Excel 2010

If you want to hide columns not adjacent to each other for example, Columns A, C and E then:-

1) Click on the fist column to be hidden i.e. A

2) Press and hold down the CTRL key

3) While holding the CTRL key, left click on the rest of the columns you want to hide i.e. C and E

4) Right click and choose Hide
