Question

I just upgraded to Office 2016, which most of my users haven\'t done, and I\'m getting a new error when users try to run my scripts.

\"Compile Error

Answer 1

You need to include the Excel 15.0 Object Library in order to use Excel.Range("A2") like that or use late binding as shown below:

  Dim excelApp As object, r as object
  Set excelApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
  Set r = excelApp.Range("A2")
