Hi all,

I am using QRCode generator macro with row:
Code:
Public Function QRCode(text As String, Optional level As String, Optional version As Integer = 1) As String

Could anyone explain me how to change Error Correction with this?

Here below is whole macro:
Code:
Option Explicit
Dim mat() As Byte ' matrix of QR

' QR Code 2005 bar code symbol creation according ISO/IEC 18004:2006
'   param text to encode
'   param level optional: quality level LMQH
'   param version optional: minimum version size (-3:M1, -2:M2, .. 1, .. 40)
'   creates QR and micro QR bar code symbol as shape in Excel cell.
'  Kanji mode needs the custom property 'kanji' of the Application.Caller sheet to convert from unicode to kanji
'   the string contains the 6879 chars of Kanji followed by the 6879 equivalent unicode chars
Public Function QRCode(text As String, Optional level As String, Optional version As Integer = 1) As String
