Thanks for the reply - wasn't sure though what you meant by "parsing it
to a cell"?

Incidentally, I just tried doing exactly the same in Word 2007 and in
this environment everything behaves as it should. This seems to confirm
that its an Excel 2007 bug. Any ideas

Dim o as shape
set o= ActiveDocument.shapes.addline (0,0,400,400)
? o.Nodes.Count
2

Tim

Hi Tim,

I ran this on 2002 SP3 and got a count of 2, so unsure why in 2007 it
would return 0. Is it to do with how you are calling the count? Have
you tried parsing it to a cell?

Regards

To clarify further, if I run the following from VBA in a clean Excel
2007 worksheet it still returns 0 instead of 2.

dim o as Shape
set o=ActiveSheet.shapes.addline (0,0,400,400)
? o.Nodes.Count
0

Hi,

Has anyone come across the following problem? The code below works fine
with Excel 2003, but in 2007 nodes.count always returns zero. Any hints
appreciated!

Many thanks,
Tim

Dim o As Shape
For Each o In ActiveSheet.Shapes
If o.Type = msoLine Then
If o.Nodes.Count = 2 Then
..etc
