I got bored today, so I decided to rewrite the code in KB article 316383 to
decrease the number of object references.
This resulted in a number of nested With ... End With.
The original code had a
Dim r As Integer, c As Integer
shortly before a For Next.
The original code does not use With ... End With.
I ended up with, no pun intended, the code below. If the Dim statement is
moved into more deeply nested With ... End Withs, there are compile errors.
I've included the statement twice below. I've commented out the case that
does work, so you should see a compile error.
Ordinarily such statements should be at the beginning of the procedure.
Are there any restrictions for placing PROCEDURE level Dim declaration
statement?
Where are these documented?
