Expected variable or procedure, not Enum type

  • Article

This page is specific to the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) Language Reference for Office 2010.

The name of an Enum type only appears in a statement declaring an enumeration of the type or as a qualifier. This error has the following cause and solution:

  • An Enum type name is used instead of the name of an enumeration variable of the type. Declare a variable of the Enum type or find a previous declaration in the current scope and use that variable.

  • An Enum type name is used instead of a variable or procedure name.

    Check the spelling of the identifier that caused the error. Use the name of a variable or procedure where you specified an Enum type.
