You do not need a reference to MS Text to Speech, as you are using the
engine built into Excel, hence the "Application" in your code.
If you are sure your version of Excel supports Speech, is it an optional
install ?

Also, it would help if you told us which error, we are not mind readers.

I tried it without the parenthesis (as below), and it gives the same
error. I
am wondering if there is an option or installation that I need to do? I
have
setup the Reference to Microsoft Text to Speech. Any suggestions?

Sub speaktester()

Application.Speech.Speak "Hello"

End Sub

I am using XL2003. I was testing out the message below submitted
earlier
in a
subprocedure, but I still get the run-time error. Any suggestions.

This is the test procedure I used:

Sub speaktester()

Application.Speech.Speak ("Hello")

End Sub

Application.Speech is only supported on XL2002 (or 2003 ??) and
higher.
How are you using the Microsoft Direct Speech Synthesis.

When I run this code I get a the error: "run-time error 1004"
which is
an
"Application-defined or object-defined error" .

I have added the Reference you suggested to the Microsoft Direct
Speech
Synthesis.

Any suggestions on how to correct this.

Thank You,

Hello,

I use message boxes to display the end of a macro/code. I

for a

Is it
