Wrong number of arguments (Error 450)

  • 7 contributors

The number of arguments to a procedure must match the number of parameters in the procedure's definition. This error has the following causes and solutions:

The number of arguments in the call to the procedure wasn't the same as the number of required arguments expected by the procedure. Check the argument list in the call against the procedure declaration or definition.

You specified an index for a control that isn't part of a control array .

The index specification is interpreted as an argument but neither an index nor an argument is expected, so the error occurs. Remove the index specification, or follow the procedure for creating a control array. Set the Index property to a nonzero value in the control's property sheet or property window at design time .

You tried to assign a value to a read-only property , or you tried to assign a value to a property for which no Property Let procedure exists.

Assigning a value to a property is the same as passing the value as an argument to the object's Property Let procedure. Properly define the Property Let procedure; it must have one more argument than the corresponding Property Get procedure. If the property is meant to be read-only, you can't assign a value to it.

You invoked a procedure, but used either the wrong procedure name, the wrong number of arguments for this procedure, or wrong argument types.

The number of arguments passed to a procedure must match the number of parameters in the procedure's definition.

To correct this error

Check to see that the argument list you are passing to the procedure matches that in the procedure declaration or definition.

VBA Wrong number of arguments or invalid property assignment

I have a workbook that I use as a template to create other workbooks where the user collects information and sends that data to a data file. The main (starter) workbook is well used in many scenarios so I feel the VBA code is solid. The workbook was created so the only thing that need changing is the information that goes in the data string, the VBA code does not need changing. All the information the code needs (Path and File name for the data file, etc) is in a "Configuration" worksheet. so, I'm pretty sure the Worksheet_selectionsChange event is good, that's where the problem is showing up. To help the user enter data I use a Worksheet_SelectionsChange event to allow them to click on various cells to enter text, or bring up a pop up to pick the data they need. That's where the problems is now. When I click on cell I get the above error in the subject on a line that says If (Left(range("AL" & ActiveCell.Row).value,1) = "R" then the word "Left" is highlighted. OK Here are the changes that may have caused this. To aid with data collection, I have the user collecting data from our main frame through the Reflections Workspace program. I have code, running in Excel, that looks at the screen and captures information in certain places, and enters it into specific cells so it will be included in the data string. In order to get that to work, I needed to add the following reflections libraries ---- "Reflections for Unix and Open VMS" and "Reflections for Unix and Open VMS ActiveX Control 1.0 Type Library" Any ideas on what would cause the "Left" function to stop working? Thanks for any insight. Mark

It sounds like one of those libraries has its own Left function. Use VBA.Left instead.  

That was it!!! Thanks Rory

  4. Wrong number of arguments (Error 450)

    Assigning a value to a property is the same as passing the value as an argument to the object's Property Let procedure. Properly define the Property Let procedure; it must have one more argument than the corresponding Property Get procedure. If the property is meant to be read-only, you can't assign a value to it.
