From within a class modules, is there a viable way to call on a public
method and/or property that is setup within a worksheet module? I have setup a procedure with the following signatu Public Sub pcdInitializeWorksheet(ByRef l_objScheduleRangeNames As clsScheduleRangeNames) and within the class module that is attempting to call on it, it's setup as: l_wsh.pcdInitializeWorksheet m_objScheduleRangeNames The object variable "l_wsh" is within a For Each...Next loop, which is a worksheet object. At the time it's compiling, it's erroring out stating the above method, "pcdInitializeWorksheet", is not found. If I comment out that one line of code, everything compiles just fine. If it's not feasible to use worksheet modules as such, then I will be left with no choice but to emulate the worksheets. -- Thanks, Ronald R. Dodge, Jr. Production Statistician Master MOUS 2000 |

Since you are calling a public Sub, the l_wsh is inappropriate. The Public
Sub should be in a public module, not a sheet module. If the procedure pcdInitializeWorksheet is in the public module, the drop the l_wsh from the call and it should respond. "Ronald R.

I'm attempting to have properties put into each worksheet, so as when I call
on which ever worksheet, I can get the proper value or set of values from the code. Also, why the prequalified object, that's to avoid ambiguity issues, as I will not introduce ambiguity into my code. Based on what you are saying, I will have to emulate the worksheets. -- Thanks, Ronald R. Dodge, Jr. Production Statistician Master MOUS 2000 "JLGWhiz" wrote in message ...

If I follow what you are trying to say, and it's a highly dubious if!

Why is that? I am a strong believer of good programming practice, which
includes avoiding ambiguities whenever possible, which should be nearly 100% of the time, if not 100% of the time. About the only time I can see when ambiguity may not be avoided would be dealing with late binding due to other limitations and the lack of being able to bind at compile time. -- Thanks, Ronald R.

Why is that?
Try it, I'm sure you will then work out why. Regards, Peter T "Ronald R. Dodge, Jr." wrote in message ... Why is that?

The only reason why I can think of doing that, the Object data type is
similar to the Variant data type except it does have to refer to a class module as an object. With that, instead of the variable being bound at compile time, it would be bound at run time. While this may be of benefit, if there comes a time when MS Office goes to VB.NET base code (Not sure of MS Office 2007 is already like that or not), then I would like to spend as little time converting code over to VB.NET format. While VB.NET does allow for the Object data type, it's very restrictive on what is and what is not allowed. It's already bad enough that error trapping codes [among other adjustments] would have to be modified in so many places when going from the VB6 base code to VB.NET base code. If this happens, a lot of people will be abruptly awakened by the various restrictions of VB.NET such as can't use the Variant data type, and must explicitly declare all variables. Wouldn't be able to imply which parent object such coded variable is refering to nearly as easily as done in the VB6 base code. When stepping through code, rather than it compiling on demand, when one makes an adjustment to code while debugging, program is using the compiled code and the change the develop makes wouldn't take effect until the code is compiled again. GoTo's and other similar statements are no longer allowed in the .NET environment. Error trapping is done via the Try...Catch...Final blocks. MS did this stuff to force people to use more of the good programming practices, so as when debugging, it's much easier to catch things. Of course, not all of the good programming practice rules can be enforced like this as people can still use names that's not so easy to tell what they are, formatting issues, and what ever else there may be. A couple of the benefits though of VB.NET would be that it would be compiled into MSIL, so as multiple programming languages can be used for the same code (in some cases, VB wouldn't be able to be used, but more so C#), and instead of having to create multiple methods/properties, each method and property can have multiple signatures. These are just a few of the several differences between the 2 base codes. -- Thanks, Ronald R. Dodge, Jr. Production Statistician Master MOUS 2000 "Peter T" <peter_t@discussions wrote in message ...

Ronald, if I may say you are making this excessively complicated :-)
In your OP you said you had - "public method and/or property that is setup within a worksheet module" also you want to loop these worksheets. If your code is in worksheet modules it is "VBA", and if you want to use a worksheet Object it is part of Excel's object model. Whether thereafter you want your loop in VBA, VB6 or ..Net or any other language is irrelevant. Try this simple test at the top of EACH worksheet module Public a as Long in a normal module Sub Test() dim i as long Dim obj as Object For each obj in Worksheets i = i + 10 obj.a = i debug.? obj.a next End Sub Run test and you should see 10, 20, 30 (assuming 3 worksheets) in the immediate window. . Now change 'As Object' to 'As Worksheet'. It'll fail for the same reason your code fails. Simply because ' a ' is not a property of a worksheet as defined in the relevant typelib An alternative approach, and perhaps a better one, would be to subclass your worksheets using WithEvents. Then you can include whatever additional methods and properties you wish and get the intellisense, no binding issues etc. You could maintain these classes in whatever app you are working with, eg outside workbook or even outside Excel depending on your app. Regards, Peter T "Ronald R.
