Error using Mid() function???

[csf]

Hi,

When using the mid() function in MS Word 97 VBA I get the following error:

"Cannot find project or library"

Am i missing any project references?

Does anybody know how to write a mid() function?

Any ideas??

Thanks

Mid(String, Start, Length), in VB 6.0 at least.

Well, that is what I am doing Mid(String, Start, Length), except I am still receiving the same error???

sText="this is a sample text"
myVariable = mid(sText, 6,2)
' myVariable will be "is"

u don't need any reference at all

Well, the weird thing is, it works ok on my machine, however, on my colleague's maching he receives the error.

I didn't think it was the reference thing, so I guess it must be something else.

i've checked the references word uses (standard references):
- Visual Basic for Applications
- Microsoft word 9.0 Object library
- ole automation
- normal
- microsoft office 9.0 object library

maybe you could check these? (! i'm using word 2000!)

reference it directly like this:

VBA.Mid$(String, Start, Length)
