XL97: "Out of memory" Error Running Sub ProcedureLast reviewed: February 27, 1998Article ID: Q173182 |
The information in this article applies to:
SYMPTOMSIf you run a Sub procedure that uses the Cells property, you may receive the following error:
Run-time error '7': Out of memoryYou may receive this error message even though the procedure ran successfully in earlier versions of Microsoft Excel.
CAUSEThis behavior may occur if you incorrectly use the Cells property. For example, the following Sub procedure runs without error in earlier versions of Microsoft Excel but generates a run-time error in Microsoft Excel 97:
Sub Cells_Test1() For i = 1 To 5 For j = 1 To 6 ActiveSheet.Cells.Value(i, 7) = _ ActiveSheet.Cells.Value(i, 7) + ActiveSheet.Cells.Value(i, j) Next Next End Sub RESOLUTIONMicrosoft provides programming examples for illustration only, without warranty either expressed or implied, including, but not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability and/or fitness for a particular purpose. This article assumes that you are familiar with the programming language being demonstrated and the tools used to create and debug procedures. Microsoft support engineers can help explain the functionality of a particular procedure, but they will not modify these examples to provide added functionality or construct procedures to meet your specific needs.

For more information about the support options available from Microsoft, please see the following page on the World Wide Web:
http://www.microsoft.com/supportnet/refguide/To resolve this problem, place the arguments for the Cells property immediately after the Cells keyword. For example, modify the sample procedure as follows:
Sub Cells_Test2() For i = 1 To 5 For j = 1 To 6 ActiveSheet.Cells(i, 7).Value = _ ActiveSheet.Cells(i, 7).Value + ActiveSheet.Cells(i, j).Value Next Next End Sub STATUSThis behavior is by design of Microsoft Excel 97.
