The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Excel 98 Macintosh Edition

This article was previously published under Q182810

SYMPTOMS

In a Visual Basic for Applications macro, when you attempt to reference the last object in the CustomViews collection by index number, you may receive the following error message:
Run-Time Error '1004'
Application-defined or object-defined error

CAUSE

This problem occurs when the last view you create is the last object in the CustomViews collection.

WORKAROUND

Microsoft provides programming examples for illustration only, without warranty either expressed or implied. This includes, but is not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. This article assumes that you are familiar with the programming language that is being demonstrated and with the tools that are used to create and to debug procedures. Microsoft support engineers can help explain the functionality of a particular procedure, but they will not modify these examples to provide added functionality or construct procedures to meet your specific requirements. To work around this problem, create a temporary view as the last object in the collection. To do this, use the following macro:
   Sub GetCustomViewNames()

      Dim VwArray() As String, i As Integer

      'Create a temporary view.
      ActiveWorkbook.CustomViews.Add "Temporary"

      For i = 1 To ActiveWorkbook.CustomViews.Count - 1
            ReDim Preserve VwArray( 1 To i)
            VwArray(i) = ActiveWorkbook.CustomViews(i).Name
            MsgBox VwArray(i)
      Next i

      'Delete temporary view.
      ActiveWorkbook.CustomViews("Temporary").Delete

   End Sub
				

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
