Hey everyone.

Currently I have

textbox1.Text = Format(Cells(1, 1), "000")

Yet I get the error where "Format" is highlighted with error message:

[Cant find project or Library]

What could be the cause of this? I had it working the other day but am baffled as to why it isn't currently working.

Any help greatly appreciated!

Greetings,

No guarantees, but if you loaded (opened) the workbook on a machine w/an older version of Excel, this can happen.

In VBE, under the Tools command, select 'References..."

See what library is missing.

Hope this helps,

Mark

Mmm I tried finding references but wasn't sure which ones to add. I added a formatting one but it said unable to add.

Also It was create on my computer (excel 2003) then worked on on a different comp (excel 2003) now its not working on mine again. So I'm pretty sure its only used excel 2003 thus far.

After bringing up the references dialog, see if there is one that is ticked, but notes... MISSING: (then the library name)

Ok there does happen to be one.

MISSING: Ref Edit Control

What does that mean? Am I meant to download this library off the internet?

No. I would select the MISSING item, and copy down the info below a bit on the dialog, as to the missing file's name. Then scroll down and see if you find a similar library, usually maybe a version earlier.

If so, select the available version (that is tick the box for it) and deselect the Missing one.

Hope this helps,

Mark

Usually it is sufficient to just uncheck it, and not bother finding an alternative. It happens when someone may have set a reference in testing, but not for something needed in this project.

Just uncheck the reference(s) that are marked as MISSING.

No need to download anything or install anything.

Unless you are actually using a RefEdit control somewhere.:)
