.addline error duplicate name
Hi,
I having a problem using .addline method in VBA code. I am using office 2007 and .xls format (for compatibility with office 2003 reasons) files: when I draw a new line with this .addline method, I see that the sometimes (not always, quite randomly) the name given to the new line is already existing in the sheet. so later in the program, I have a lot of problem grouping the blocks (excel cannot choose the right shape by name) how is it possible that addline method does this duplication? many thanks in advance Mark |

.addline error duplicate name
Are you sure the name is in the same sheet? It will assign the same name
to a line on sheet 2 as on sheet 1 and other sheets. But I have never seen it assign the same name to a shape on the same sheet. Look for Sheet1!Line1 and Sheet2!Line1 for names. The sheet name should differentiate between the line names. "perf" wrote in message ... Hi, I having a problem using .addline method in VBA code.

.addline error duplicate name
I also thought it was impossible, but I have just tried to create one group
of shapes and the code crashed. I can see why: there are exactly two "Straight Connector 295" on the same sheet, one just created and one grouped in another block previously created. in a way like this, the code crashed. is there any way to decide the number of the lines? how can it be possible? i suppose it's related to the way office 2007 maages ..xls files... any suggestion/idea? thanks mark thanks "JLGWhiz" wrote: Are you sure the name is in the same sheet?

I have not dealt with xl2007 + yet, so I am not familiar with its
idiosyncrasies. I also was not aware the shapes which had been grouped could contain the same names as shapes that were not grouped. But there is a lot about this monster that I don't know.

I am thinking that that should not be happening, and that you might have
turned up a bug. But without having that version of Excel I cannot verify it. Maybe you should post it as a recommendation for MS to fix and see what results you get. "perf" wrote in message ...

Shapes in XL2007 are bug ridden. It doesn't surprise me at all. Be aware that some shapes parameters are incompatible in XL2007 vs XL2003 so that to make code work in both it harder than it sounds.

This is an answer that an user would never listen to...
I am a little disappointed with such a product. these errors are not permissible! so, I'll modify the name by myself in order to avoid duplication. thanks! mark "Martin Brown" wrote: perf wrote: I also thought it was impossible, but I have just tried to create one group of shapes and the code crashed.
