ErrorCheckingOptions Object

  • Article
Excel Developer Reference

Represents the error-checking options for an application.

Remarks

Use the ErrorCheckingOptions property of the Application object to return an ErrorCheckingOptions object.

Reference the Item property of the Errors object to view a list of index values associated with error-checking options.

Once an ErrorCheckingOptions object is returned, you can use the following properties, which are members of the ErrorCheckingOptions object, to set or return error checking options.

Example

The following example uses the TextDate property to enable error checking for two-digit-year text dates and notifies the user.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  Sub CheckTextDates()

Dim rngFormula As Range
Set rngFormula = Application.Range("A1")

Range("A1").Formula = "'April 23, 00"
Application.ErrorCheckingOptions.TextDate = True

' Perform check to see if 2 digit year TextDate check is on.
If rngFormula.Errors.Item(xlTextDate).Value = True Then
    MsgBox "The text date error checking feature is enabled."
Else
    MsgBox "The text date error checking feature is not on."
End If



End Sub
