SYMPTOMSWhen your Visual Basic for Applications macro creates an object variable that is set to reference a picture object, and if your macro later anchors a hyperlink to the picture object, the object reference is deleted and the following error message appears: For example, the following Visual Basic for Applications macro adds a hyperlink to an already linked picture. The hyperlink is "anchored" to the picture object referenced by the InLine Picture object variable oILPic. Once the hyperlink is added, the object variable reference oILPic is deleted.
CAUSEThe "Object has been deleted" error message appears because the macro has attempted to access an object that has been deleted. The object may have been deleted deliberately, such as with the Delete method, or it may have been deleted as a side effect of another operation, such as when a frame is added around an inline shape, which deletes the original inline shape and creates a copy of it in the frame.
