VB won't recognize function in Analysis Tool Pak

[Barry Wolfson]

I am running Microsoft Office 2000 professional edition. I wrote a VB macro for an excel spreadsheet. I need to use some functions like LCM (least common multiple) and GCD (greatest common divisor). I have an old Function Reference Manual which states that these functions may be accessible only by loading the Analysis Tool Pak. I did that and loaded the Analysis ToolPak, Analysis ToolPak - VBA, and Update Add-in Links. (Tools menu, then Add-Ins). The system asked for the CD rom which I insereted - so it looked like it did add it in. Unfortunately when I try to execute the macro I keep getting the message Run-time error '438'. Object doesn't support this property or method. When I click on the debug option the system points to the exact statement with the LCM function. Am I missing something? Any ideas

in the VBE you should see in the project explorer

atpvbaen.xls(ATPVBAEN.XLA)
funcres(FUNCRES.XLA)

The first shows Analysis toolpak - vba is loaded
The second show Analysis toolpak is loaded

If you don't see them go to Excel and in tools=>Addins, select Analysis
toolpak and Analysis toolpak - vba

Now you can call those function using application.Run (as an example from
the immediate window)

? application.Run("ATPVBAEN.XLA!lcm",24,36)
72


vVal = application.Run("ATPVBAEN.XLA!lcm",24,36)

to reference a range

vVal = application.Run("ATPVBAEN.XLA!lcm",Range("A11"),Range("A12"))

as an example.
