XL97: Cannot Get OLEObjects Property Referencing Collection (157280)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Excel 97 for Windows
This article was previously published under Q157280 SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to get a property of an ActiveX control using the
OLEObjects method, you may receive the following error:
Run-time error '1004':
Unable to get the <property name> property of the <class name> class.
For example, running a macro containing this statement
x = Sheet1.OLEObjects.Border.ColorIndex
should return the ColorIndex property of the Border class, but the
following error message appears:
Run-time error '1004':
Unable to get the ColorIndex property of the Border class.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, refer to the index number of the ActiveX
control. Instead of referring to the OLEObjects collection, refer to a
single OLEObject. For the example above, use the following statement to
return the ColorIndex property of the Border class:
x = Sheet1.OLEObjects(1).Border.ColorIndex
