MXL4: Macro Error when You Run a Recorded Solver Macro

 * }

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Excel for the Macintosh, version 4.0

SYMPTOMS
When you run a recorded macro that includes commands from the Microsoft Excel Solver, you may receive a macro error in the first cell of the macro.

CAUSE
This macro error occurs because, when the macro is recorded, the name of the Solver Add-in macro is not enclosed in single quotation marks.

WORKAROUND
To avoid this macro error, manually remove the filename from each line of recorded macro code.

Example
If your macro code looks like the following

  =Solver Add-in!SOLVER.OK(!$A$3,3,25,(!$A$2)) =Solver Add-in!SOLVER.SOLVE =RETURN

remove the filenames, so that the macro resembles the following:

  =SOLVER.OK(!$A$3,3,25,(!$A$2)) =SOLVER.SOLVE =RETURN
