Invalid use of Me keyword

The Me keyword can appear in class modules. This error has the following causes and solutions:

  • The Me keyword appeared in a standard module.

    The Me keyword can't appear in a standard module because a standard module doesn't represent an object. If you copied the code in question from a class module, you have to replace the Me keyword with the specific object or form name to preserve the original reference.

  • The Me keyword appeared on the left side of a Set assignment, for example:

      Set Me = MyObject    ' Causes "Invalid use of Me keyword" message. 
    
    

    Remove the Set assignment.

    Note

    The Me keyword can appear on the left side of a Let assignment, in which case the default property of the object represented by Me is set. For example:

      Let Me = MyObject   ' Valid assignment with explicit Let. 
      Me = MyObject       ' Valid assignment with implicit Let.
