I have written some code and it all worked fine when I ran it from the VBA window.

I then went back and created some Command Buttons on the worksheet to run each procuedure.

Generally it has worked, but for a few of the procedures when I click the Command Button, I get the error message "Compile Error: Expected Procedure, Not Variable"

For example, one sub where this is happening is:

>>>>
Sub AssignIndustry()

Set LastRow = Cells.Find(What:="Issuer", After:=Cells.Find(What:="Assign Industry"), LookAt:=xlWhole).End(xlDown)
Set FirstIndustry = Cells.Find(What:="Industry", After:=Cells.Find(What:="Assign Industry"), LookAt:=xlWhole, SearchDirection:=xlNext, SearchOrder:=xlByRows).Offset(1)
Set Industry = Range(FirstIndustry, Cells(LastRow.Row, FirstIndustry.Column))
lbIndustryLabel = Cells.Find(What:="Industry List", After:=Cells.Find(What:="Assign Industry"), LookAt:=xlWhole).Offset(1)
Set IndustryList = Range(lbIndustryLabel, lbIndustryLabel.End(xlDown).End(xlToRight))

With Industry
.Formula = "=Vlookup(RC[-1]," & IndustryList.Address(True, True, ReferenceStyle:=R1C1) & ",2,false)"
End With

End Sub
>>>>


And the code for the button is:
>>>
Private Sub AssignIndustry_Click()

AssignIndustry

End Sub
>>

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
I seemed to have answered my own question.

I was naming my button with the same name as the procedure.

I tried putting btn at the begining of each button name and that fixed the problem.
