SYMPTOMS
When you record a Visual Basic for applications macro that adds a sheet template to a Microsoft Excel version 7.0 workbook, you will get a line of code similar to the following:
Sheets.Add Type:= "C:\MSOFFICE\TEMPLATES\SHEET.XLT"
When you run this code, you receive the following error message:
CAUSE
The value for the Type argument must be a Microsoft Excel sheet constant. The sheet constants are as follows:
xlWorksheet
xlChart
xlModule
xlDialogSheet
xlExcel4MacroSheet
xlExcel4IntlMacroSheet
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, use the following steps:
- Save the template as Sheet.xlt in your Excel\Xlstart folder.
- Restart Microsoft Excel.
Now you can record the macro to insert the template and the recorded macro.
STATUS
