I have the following line of code that changes the text in a shape.

Sheets("Main Menu").Shapes("AutoSaveMaster").TextFrame.Characters.Text = "Whatever"
It works just fine with 64Bit VBA 7 but when I try and run it in 32Bit VBA 6 I get the error

Unable to set the text of character class.

Any suggestions around this?

Thanks much

Select data in PDF. Paste to Microsoft Word. Copy from Word and paste to Excel.
Works fine for me.

Either: ActiveWorkbook<>ThisWorkbook, sheet "Main Menu" does not exit, shape named AutoSaveMaster does not exist for that workbook and sheet.
