I am trying to use the SOlverOK module in a loop ina macro and I am not
able to reset the cosntraint set. Code I am using is below. PLEASE...

Hello. From my experience, I find it very difficult to keep track of which
constraints need to be modified.
The expression has to be exact for the deletion to work. I also find it
hard to work with strings.
I like to Reset everything when using Solver in a loop. I can't follow the
exact problem, but see if there is anything here that can help. I assume
the problems are on Rows 1-10.
I threw in a few techniques that I use. HTH. :)

Sub Demo()
'= = = = = = = = = =
'// Dana DeLouis
'= = = = = = = = = =
Dim R As Long '(R)ow
Dim Rng As String
Const EqualTo As Long = 2
Const GreaterThanOrEqualTo As Long = 3
Dim Result As Long

For R = 1 To 10
SolverReset

Rng = Range(Cells(R, 5), Cells(R, 27)).Address
SolverOk SetCell:=Cells(R, 3), MaxMinVal:=2, ByChange:=Rng

SolverAdd Cells(R, 29), EqualTo, 1
SolverAdd Rng, GreaterThanOrEqualTo, 0

Result = SolverSolve(True)
If Result = 3 Then
MsgBox "Solver Error on Row: " & R
End
End If
Next R
End Sub

Hi Dana:
Thanks for your response. I agree with the SolverReset idea. I also
found another post by Tushar Mehta on 9/9/05 with a slightly different
approach. I tried to copy that code which seems to work EXCEPT that
any constraint such as "x = 1" seems to disappear when the loop is
processed. I ran the macro for one iterationa dn then used "EXC" to
stop the macro and check what is in the Solver and I see that the
constraints like " x0" are there but "x =1" type cosntraints are
missing.


Of Course I can create a new variable (y = x-1) and then add "y0" -
but this should be unnecessary.

Any suggestions?
Thanks for your help
