are you sure it's containing a *known* value?

if yes then what happens if you try it like

oDest.Sheets(List4.Text).Range(oDest.Workbooks(1).Sheets(List4.Text).Cells(x2, CInt(sourcedest)), oDest.Workbooks(1).Sheets(List4.Text).Cells((x2), CInt(sourcedest))) = CopyText

 

by: bruintjePosted on 2004-02-25 at 11:43:47ID: 10453537

and more important is the address of the cell you're trying to fill correct at time of inserting the copytext

 

by: jmwheelerPosted on 2004-02-25 at 11:46:19ID: 10453561

Have you tried using CINT on x2?  ex -> .cells(cint(x2), cint(sourcedest))

Also, if that doesn't work try removing the .value from the left side of your equation.

 

by: jmwheelerPosted on 2004-02-25 at 11:47:19ID: 10453568

oh, guess the second part of mine looks a lot like bruintje's answer.  sorry.

 

by: bruintjePosted on 2004-02-25 at 11:55:27ID: 10453638

no need for sorries that's EE :-)

 

by: fordraidersPosted on 2004-02-25 at 12:03:40ID: 10453710

To All,

I get the error on this

CInt(sourcedest))

I put the cursor when the error pops up.

But I have tried taking the   .value off also...
still the error.

Thanks
fordraiders

can you see what's in your variables if you set a breakpoint at the line?

 

by: fordraidersPosted on 2004-02-25 at 12:17:27ID: 10453816

Yes,
and what did ring on a bell from both of you is the  .Value  issue

I have yet to figure it out but,

The index value on the listbox selection was not correct.

I changed the .text to
FROM :

sourcedest = lvwMap.ListItems.Item(x).ListSubItems(3).Text

TO:
sourcedest = CInt(lvwMap.ListItems.Item(x).SubItems(4))
I was puliing in the value text not the actual index value....

Thanks
I hope this was it..
Still playing around...

Try change this:
CInt(sourcedest))

To this:
CInt(Val(sourcedest)))

Or as I see try changing this:
sourcedest = CInt(lvwMap.ListItems.Item(x).SubItems(4))

To this:
sourcedest = CInt(Val(lvwMap.ListItems.Item(x).SubItems(4)) )

 

by: ArkPosted on 2004-02-25 at 15:08:15ID: 10455154

Try

sourcedest = lvwMap.ListItems.Item(x).ListSubItems(3).Text
If Not IsNumeric(sourcedest) Then sourcedest = "0" 'or any other default value
