When you run a Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications procedure that utilizes the Htmlconvert method, you may receive the following error message:

Subscript out of range

The following Visual Basic Sub procedure illustrates how to work around the problem. You can use the Version property of the Application object to determine the version of Excel that you are running. Then, after you know the current version of Excel, you can use the correct name for the wizard. This procedure works in Excel 97 and Excel 2000:


Sub CreateWebPage()
    Dim objtoconvert(0) As Variant
    Dim WizardName As String
    
    ' If you are running Excel 2000...
    If Application.Version Like "9.0" Then
        ' Use the new name for the wizard.
        WizardName = "Internet Assistant VBA"
    Else
        ' Use the old name for the wizard.
        WizardName = "Internet Assistant Wizard"
    End If
    
    Set objtoconvert(0) = Sheets("sheet1").Range("a1:b2")
    
    'Use the variable defined above for the name fo the wizard.
    AddIns(WizardName).Installed = True
    
    htmlconvert objtoconvert, False, False, False, 1252, "c:\test.htm", _
                "Test Page", True, "Myname"
End Sub
