I can't find the solution to my problem...
 

So I decided to post it here. I have read as many message boards as I
could find about the error I continue to receive. "Compile Error: Only
comments may appear after End Sub, End Function, or End Property" I
have seen posts referring to either APIs or Function Declarations. I
do not have either of these in my code. I also saw a post that
recommended keping the size of the module below 64k. My code was less
than 50k, but to be on the safe side I split it up to two modules and
adjusted the code accordingly. I still get the error. Excel is
highlighting the first line of the last Sub in the module. I will post
all of module1 and two of the subs from module2. I can post the last
function if it is deemed necessary, I just didn't want this post to be
longer than it had to be. Cheers!

I can't find the solution to my problem...
 

Which is the one you are getting the error on - is it the last sub of module
1 or module 2? If it is 2 it would help if that were posted. Perhaps you
spelt Sub wrong :)

FYI Subs can have more than one argument - just when you call them, don't
put brackets round the arguments. Also functions can be called without a
variable and '=' - just use the keyword 'Call' in front of the function
call.

I can't find the solution to my problem...
 

Just to add, if I put a stray character at the bottom of the module, past
all the code, then I can get your error message.

Maybe you have an invisible character such as chr(160) - non-breaking space
somewhere in your module outside a procedure. If you copied something from
a web page an pasted it in, this is a possibility.

So I decided to post it here. I have read as many message boards as I
could find about the error I continue to receive. "Compile Error: Only
comments may appear after End Sub, End Function, or End Property" I
have seen posts referring to either APIs or Function Declarations. I
do not have either of these in my code. I also saw a post that
recommended keping the size of the module below 64k. My code was less
than 50k, but to be on the safe side I split it up to two modules and
adjusted the code accordingly. I still get the error. Excel is
highlighting the first line of the last Sub in the module. I will post
all of module1 and two of the subs from module2. I can post the last
function if it is deemed necessary, I just didn't want this post to be
longer than it had to be. Cheers!

Jeff,
Thanks for that info, I did not know about the FYI stuff you wrote (too
used to VB.NET I guess). The sub I was getting the error on is
"InsertNextMessage." Unfortunately, I do not know why, but I am no
longer getting that message. I put all my functions back in one
module, and readjusted my code. (The module is still only 40k).
However, my code is still not working. I am getting an "expression too
complex" within the one fucntion that is not posted above, so I will
post it after your response. To make things even more curious... if I
follow the code through the debugger tool, it passes through just fine
with no errors. I have also noticed that when I let it run, and it
dies.. the values of the variables indicate that it dies on the first
time entering the function.
I know my code looks bloated, but I really can't seem to find a way to
better optimize it in these functions because I have to do these steps
in order and they are just different enough to not allow them to be
combined into common functions.

Which is the one you are getting the error on - is it the last sub of module
1 or module 2? If it is 2 it would help if that were posted. Perhaps you
spelt Sub wrong :)

FYI Subs can have more than one argument - just when you call them, don't
put brackets round the arguments. Also functions can be called without a
variable and '=' - just use the keyword 'Call' in front of the function
call.

I can't find the solution to my problem...
 

Tom,
Thanks for the offer. When I first started getting that error, I
tried deleting everything between an end portion and the start of the
next function/sub. I had also checked the bottom of the code.
Good news: I am not getting that error anymore.
Bad news: I don't know what I did to fix it. (see my reply to Jeff's
post)

Thanks for the reply though. I enjoy all input

Just to add, if I put a stray character at the bottom of the module, past
all the code, then I can get your error message.

Maybe you have an invisible character such as chr(160) - non-breaking space
somewhere in your module outside a procedure. If you copied something from
a web page an pasted it in, this is a possibility.

Crikey. I've never seen that error personally, but the fact that it works
when you step through it makes me wonder if you have any asynchronous
operations going on, that finish if you step through, but are still going on
if you run it normally (which is of course much quicker). Ring any bells?

Jeff,

Apparently this was posted to you rather than the group:

I pasted it into two modules and after cleaning up the word wrap errors, it
compiled fine for me.

I put in a dummy CheckHeirarchy function.

Function CheckHierarchy(strFileType, strFileName, isReading, LastRow)

So I decided to post it here. I have read as many message boards as I
could find about the error I continue to receive. "Compile Error: Only
comments may appear after End Sub, End Function, or End Property" I
have seen posts referring to either APIs or Function Declarations. I
do not have either of these in my code. I also saw a post that
recommended keping the size of the module below 64k. My code was less
than 50k, but to be on the safe side I split it up to two modules and
adjusted the code accordingly. I still get the error. Excel is
highlighting the first line of the last Sub in the module. I will post
all of module1 and two of the subs from module2. I can post the last
function if it is deemed necessary, I just didn't want this post to be
longer than it had to be. Cheers!

I can't find the solution to my problem...
 

To my knowledge I don't have any asynchronous operations going on. I
know I haven't written any... Is there something I could put in my code
maybe above that section, that would take up some time to allow for
another process to finish?

when you step through it makes me wonder if you have any asynchronous
operations going on, that finish if you step through, but are still going on
if you run it normally (which is of course much quicker). Ring any bells?

Jeff,

I can't find the solution to my problem...
 

Here's another bit of infromation to ponder on... When Excel stops and
gives me the error message, if I hit debug, then hit the "play" button
to continue running the macro, it works until it comes around to that
place again. Once it finishes with that case, and comes back into that
function, but goes to a different case, it works just fine.
