XL97: Incorrect Definitions Displayed in Object Browser

ID: Q157232

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Excel 97 for Windows

SYMPTOMS

The Details Pane in the Microsoft Object Browser displays incorrect information for the following Add methods:

   Object/Method    Currently displays        Should display
   --------------   -----------------------   ----------------------------
   PivotItems.Add   Sub Add(Name as string)   Function Add(Name as String)
                                              as PivotItem

   Worksheets.Add   Sub Function([Before],    Function Add([Before],
                    [After],[Count],          [After],[Count],[Type])
                    [Type]) as Object         as Worksheet

The Add method for the PivotItems class is listed as a Sub when it should be listed as a function that returns a PivotItem object. The Add method for Worksheets shows that it returns an Object when it should show that it returns a Worksheet object.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
