This doesn't compile on this line:
Dim appExcel As excel.Application
and I don't know why?

Also, do I need to declare the function with the library kernel32? I don't
know what that is for or if I need it but it seems to want the library.

thanks,

If you are using this line:

Dim appExcel As excel.Application

Then you need to set a reference to Microsoft Excel in the References (Tools
References) in the VBA IDE window.

Dear Sir/Madam:
I am searching from the web and find this page - I have the same problem and
I was not able to solve it even I set the reference.
I am working on visio 2003 and I need to transfer shape date to an excel
spreadsheet by VBA code. However the code Dim appExcel as Excel.Application
is not working, pop-up a compile error.
I did set the reference of excel in Tool->Reference in visio VBA IDE.
Could you help?
Thank you in advance.
Jason
