Problem using VBA for the Networkdays function
I am using VBA in MS project to enter information into Excel 2003. It
creates an instance and enters various dates. However if I put the Newworkdays function into a cell (e.g. xlApp.range("D6").value = "=networkdays(rc[-3],rc[-2])" where D4 and D5 are recognised dates I get the #NAME? error message. The Add-ins for the Analysis toolpak have been ticked. I tried running code to turn the analysis toolpak off and then on programatically but still the same error message Any ideas how this can be fixed? Many thanks James |

Problem using VBA for the Networkdays function
Be aware that your formula is not referring to D4 and D5, but to A6 and B6. Are any of them #NAME?

Problem using VBA for the Networkdays function
it is D4 and D5. More importantly the function name is not in capitals
implying that XL can't see the function name.

Problem using VBA for the Networkdays function
James,
When you use Excel via automation, the addins do not get loaded, so you get the error. Force the load like so xlApp.AddIns("Analysis ToolPak").Installed = False xlApp.AddIns("Analysis ToolPak").Installed = True xlApp.Range("D6").Value = "=networkdays(rc[-3],rc[-2])" -- HTH Bob Phillips (replace somewhere in email address with gmail if mailing direct) " wrote in message ... it is D4 and D5.

Problem using VBA for the Networkdays function
Hi James,
And after you've sorted that out, check the cell references in your formula in the worksheet; it IS A6 and B6 (Columns -3 and -2, not Rows) -- Kind regards, Niek Otten Microsoft MVP - Excel "Bob Phillips" wrote in message ... | James, | | When you use Excel via automation, the addins do not get loaded, so you get | the error. | | Force the load like so | | | xlApp.AddIns("Analysis ToolPak").Installed = False | xlApp.AddIns("Analysis ToolPak").Installed = True | xlApp.Range("D6").Value = "=networkdays(rc[-3],rc[-2])" | | -- | HTH | | Bob Phillips | | (replace somewhere in email address with gmail if mailing direct) | | " | wrote in message ... | it is D4 and D5.

Problem using VBA for the Networkdays function
I agree with Niek, it came out as A6,B6 in all my tests.

Problem using VBA for the Networkdays function
Bob
The original formula that I had has square brackets which means that it's a relative to the D6. In this case A6 and B6. xlApp.range("D6").value ="=networkdays(rc[-3],rc[-2])" I already tried adding code to clear the addins and then restart them again but no use. I think that when you open a new instance of Excel from another MS App the Addins do not get loaded. In this case I am using MS Project to load Excel. I have just noticed that when I type in MyApp.worksheetfunction then press the '.' button for a list of methods/property parameters (?) it doesn't list networkdays. Does this make sense and if so can you help?

I thought I had already closed and added the Add-ins but I somehow screwed it up. Problem fixed. Sorry for being a arsey on the last email - long day!
