XL: Not All Arguments Are Auto-Capitalized in Visual Basic

 Last reviewed: January 9, 1998
Article ID: Q170229
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Excel 97 for Windows
  • Microsoft Excel for Windows, versions 5.0, 5.0a, 5.0c
  • Microsoft Excel for Windows 95, version 7.0

SYMPTOMS

When you type arguments into a Visual Basic for Applications macro, some of the arguments may not be capitalized automatically.

CAUSE

Visual Basic for Applications automatically capitalizes an argument that is recognized as an object, method, property, or type library name. For example, "Name" can be an argument and a property, so the "N" is capitalized. However, "savechanges" is an argument only, so the "s" and the "c" are not capitalized.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
