SolverOkDialog Function

Description

Same as the SolverOK function, but also displays the Solver dialog box.

Before you use this function, you must establish a reference to the Solver add-in. With a Visual Basic module active, click References on the Tools menu, and then select the Solver.xla check box in the Available References box. If Solver.xla doesn't appear in the Available References box, click Browse, click Solver in the \Excel\Library\Solver folder, and then click OK.

Example

This example loads the previously calculated Solver model stored on Sheet1, resets all Solver options, and then displays the Solver Parameters dialog box. From this point on, Solver can be used manually.

SolverLoad loadArea:=Range("A33:A38")
SolverReset
SolverOKDialog setCell:=Range("TotalProfit")
SolverSolve userFinish:=False
