Hi,
I am trying to write a macro in excel. I am trying to use the
container method.

Dim x As Object
Dim xx
xx = UCase(ActiveWorkbook.Name) 'This works
Worksheets("Sheet1").Activate
Set x = ActiveWorkbook.Container 'Get error at this line

The error is:
Run time error 1004. Application-defined or object-defined error

Does any one know why this would happen?

Regards,
AA

Hi Pukya,

Your objectives are unclear - please explain.

However, from VBA help on the Container method:

'-----------------------
Use this property with a contained workbook to return the container object.
If the container doesn't support OLE Automation or the workbook isn't
embedded, this property fails.
'-----------------------
