Why do I get an error message on "Option Explicit"?

Private Sub CommandButton34_Click()
Option Explicit
Sub testme01()

Dim iRow As Long
Dim HowMany As Long

HowMany = 20

With ActiveSheet
For iRow = 52 To (32 * HowMany - 1) + 52 Step 32
If IsNumeric(.Cells(iRow + 3, "I").Value) Then
If .Cells(iRow + 3, "I").Value 0 Then
.Cells(iRow, "A").Resize(16, 9).PrintPreview
'.printout when you're done checking
Exit For
End If
End If
Next iRow
End With

Range("A1").Select
End Sub

Thank You,

Bob,

Try moving Option Explicit outside the subroutine.

Option Explicit


Private Sub CommandButton34_Click()
Sub testme01()

Dim iRow As Long
Dim HowMany As Long

HowMany = 20

yadda, yadda, yadda,

Regards,
Kevin

Thank You,

I think you should remove these two lines:

Option Explicit
Sub testme01()

These look useless.

Thank You,

Option Explicit should be the very first line of the code
sheet.

Tip: Under Tools/Options in the Editor tab, make sure
that the checkbox for 'Require Variable Declaration' is
checked...this will add Option Explicit automatically.

Tip: Add
Option Private Module
This means that PUBLIC procedures will not be visible in
Excel's Macro list, but will be available to other modules
