Good morning
I'm looking to move my files into Sharepoint, some of which contain macros.

I did some initial testing in October (where I created a simple "add timestamp to sheet2") and it looked to work fine (opening the file in desktop version, running the vba, then saving the file) but in revisiting it now I get the following error:

Compile error: can't find project or library


This looks to hit every variable. When I declare my variables with dim, the error won't occur, but I get the error on functions like Format, which I'm unable to declare.

Example code below:

VBA Code:
Sub test1()
output.Select
lrow = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
Range("a" & lrow + 1).Value = Format(Now(), "DDMMYY HH:MM:SS")

    Sheets("output").Copy

    Dim SharePointURL As String
    Dim FileName As String
    
    SharePointURL = "https://sharepoint.com/sites/AutomationTest/Shared%20Documents/Test%20macro%20environment/Outputs%20sent%20to%20here/"
    FileName = "test output copy.xlsx"
    ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs SharePointURL & FileName

    ActiveWorkbook.Close SaveChanges:=False
    
    Instructions.Select
    MsgBox "Macro completed"
    Exit Sub
    
End Sub


Has anyone else experienced this? I'm struggling with ideas on how to fix!

Thank you in advance
 

Excel Facts

Formula for Yesterday
Name Manager, New Name. Yesterday =TODAY()-1. OK. Then, use =YESTERDAY in any cell. Tomorrow could be =TODAY()+1.
Sorry - just to add - the code example isn't the cleanest I've just added things in different ways to see if anything will be able to push through the error but so far unable to find anything!

Check Tools - References in the VB Editor with that workbook open and active. One of the ticked items will be prefixed with 'MISSING:'

Afternoon Rory
Thank you for the quick response. You're right - and I did see this the other day but it completely slipped my mind.

What's the way to go with this? Should I be unticking it, or will I have to find the missing one and add it back in? If I do need to add it back in, how would I go about doing this?

Thank you
Jon

It depends what it is. If you are using it in the code, then you will have to try and locate the correct library; otherwise you can simply uncheck it.

Thank you Rory, appreciate it.
I'll have a look & see if I can figure it out!

The missing library was NucleusNativeMessagingLib. I haven't seen it before, and it wasn't on my original file pre Sharepoint.
I've turned it off, and all looks to work fine, thank you!

I'm just wondering - what is that library? Will turning it off have any impact? What would cause it to be missing, is it something that could happen again?

Unless you are using it in your code, you don't need the reference. I have no idea what it is.
