Type mismatch

[mmaule]

What am I doing Wrong?
With:
Public strWorkbookName As String
Public strObjName As String
Where:
strWorkbookName = "GO_GLS_OPS_Agent - SGE Complex Manager"
This:
strObjName = Mid(strWorkbookName, "-" + 2)
Causes:
Run-time error '13':
Type mismatch
Also:
Debug.Print Mid(strWorkbookName, "-" + 2)
Causes:
Run-time error '13':
Type mismatch

your mid function is not going to work at all, mid function follows the format

mid(STRING, STARTPOSITION, ENDPOSITION)

If you are trying to get a string for everything after the - it would be something more like

trim(right(strWorkbookName, len(strworkbookname) - (instr(strworkbookname, "-") + 1)))

assuming there is only one hyphen in the workbook name. If not and you want to pick up from the last hyphen you'd have to use instrrev instead of instr.

Mid function would work with:

Mid(strWorkbookName, InStr(strWorkbookName,"-") + 2)

The EndPosition argument is optional.

I didn't know it would work without an endpoint! learn something new every day.

Thanks to all.
The Moderator nailed my omission.
Thank you.
