I am very new to VBA programing and have purchased John Walkenbach's "Power
Programming With VBA" Book I am following along with a program to sort
wooksheets. I followed the instructions in the book but when I run it I get
a compile error, at the following location:

' Sort the array in ascending order
Call BubbleSort(SheetNames)

The error say "Type Mismatch: Array or User Defined type expected"

The (SheetName) is what is highlighted. it is identical to the code in the
book but I can't figure out what is wrong with it.

Any help would be appreciated.


Here is the entire code:

Sub SortSheets()

' This Routine sorts the sheets of the
' active workbook in ascending order.

Dim SheetNames() As String
Dim i As Integer
Dim SheetCount As Integer
Dim VisibleWins As Integer
Dim Item As Object
On Error Resume Next
SheetCount = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets.Count
If Err < 0 Then Exit Sub ' No active workbook

' Check For protected workbook structure
If ActiveWorkbook.ProtectStructure Then
MsgBox ActiveWorkbook.Name & " Is Protected.", _
vbCritical, "Cannot Sort Sheets."
Exit Sub
End If

' Disable Ctrl+Break
Application.EnableCancelKey = xlDisabled

' Get the number of sheets
SheetCount = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets.Count

' Redimension the array
ReDim SheetNames(1 To SheetCount)

' Store a referance to the active sheet
Set OldActive = ActiveSheet

' Fill array with sheet names and hidden status
For i = 1 To SheetCount
SheetNames(i) = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(i).Name
Next i

' Sort the array in ascending order
Call BubbleSort(SheetNames)

' Turn off screen updating
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

' Move the sheets
For i = 1 To SheetCount
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(SheetNames(i)).Move _
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(i)
Next i

' Reactivate the orignal active sheet
OldActive.Activate
End Sub
