Compile Error: Invalid Outside Procedure

Question

Split from this thread.

getting another error can anyone help please.

Answer 1

Your code ends with End Sub, but the corresponding line

Sub macroname()

at the beginning is missing.

Answer 2

Based on your previous topic, insert the line

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()

at the top of the code.

Answer 3

Try

strFileName:= ActiveDocument.Name or

strFileName: =ActiveDocument.FullName

Let the export as pdf procedure handle the extension. At worst, I expect you will end up with it tacked onto .docx as in myFileName.docx.pdf.

Both Doug and Hans are much more proficient and competent vba coders than am I.

Answer 4

Based on your previous topic, insert the line

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()

at the top of the code.

Looking at this snippet from the previous thread,

.

you need one of the two lines in the box, but not both. If you restore the first line, the macro will run when you click the button named CommandButton1 (assuming this code is in a userform that contains such a button). If you restore the second line, the macro will run only when you manually choose to start it (assuming that you have a shortcut or QAT button assigned to it, or use the Alt+F8 "Macros" dialog).

Also, if you type either line into the macro editor, VBA will automatically follow it with an End Sub statement, which you'll have to delete because there's already one at the end of the macro.
