Yesterday, everything worked fine. Today, now I get the same error on every control I select.

I also tried a completely separate workbook (nothing in common with the first except both use VBA) and got the same error! :confused:

The only change I made yesterday to bothwork books was adding in some protection stuff, but all was working fine, and now... not.

I went back to a version from the previous day from that (so 2 days ago) and it works fine. Examined the code from both... and aside from the changes yesterday, both are the same.

So... I copied all the code over to a Word document that I have a macro set up so I can make quick changes to certain words/lines of code (been using it for months now and its not done anything that didnt copy over to excel just perfectly) and I removed all the protection stuff code from yesterday (entered a " ' " at the begininng of each line).. and... no improvement. Same 'Variable Not Defined' error... huh?

Anyone seen or heard of this before... (ms.google was of absolutely no help to me lol)
Here is the error, and some of the code, and you can see my " ' " that was inserted at the beginning of all code that I had added yesterday.

wow... you nailed it. Cant believe I didn't realize that (well... actually I can believe it because I DIDN'T KNOW THAT as I am still a complete novice here. lol)

When comparing the 2 VBA projects side by side I didnt even notice that difference between the 2. :banghead:

Thank you, Fluff :oops:

Excel Facts

What do {} around a formula in the formula bar mean?
{Formula} means the formula was entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter signifying an old-style array formula.
ALso, I believe I know what happened too... I found a bit of code for protecting the workbook (as well as not allowing doubleclick change event and a few others) and when I copied and pasted it to my code, one of them included the "option explicit". Going back through the previous "save as's" I have (usually mutilple times a day w/ different names) no others included the "option explicit". So chalk this one up as a learning event for me. :bow:
