Error Message when Assigning Return Variable

[Jordy101091]

Hi all, Im struggling to get the following to work properly.

I have made a macro to calculate the file size, the outcome of this calculation is a string like "880 Bytes".
What I want to do is to is that this macro returns this string so the user can use in his program, only when I assign this string to the '.Return' variable of this macro I get the following error message.

Code: Select all

I hope this means something, If you need to component source code, give me a PM.

Hi Jordy,
There's a chance it could be related to this bug that was found earlier in the week - if your '.Return' assignment uses an expression that joins sub-strings, it could be failing in exactly the same way. Can you post your flowchart please - I think it would be useful for us to compare with the earlier report.
In the mean-time, it may be worth having a tinker with your String expressions, joining them together in stages, as shown in the link.

Best Regards
Steve.
