VBC09301 — Ambiguous name detected

Severity: Error · Family: VBC (static semantics / abstract syntax tree) · Source metadata: VBCompileErrorInfo

An identifier names more than one declaration at the same level of scope, so it has to be qualified.

MS-VBA reports the same error: Ambiguous name detected.

This code is raised by ScopeTreeSymbolResolver, and by DeclarationStaticSemanticsEvaluator for a module that declares a name twice (recorded in Excel: MS-VBA reports it whatever the two declarations are).

How it is raised

Situation	Example	Resolution
Two projects or modules that the code can see declare the same name.	`Total` declared as a public variable in two referenced libraries	Qualify the name with the module or project that declares it: `Lib1.Total`.
A module declares a name twice, as the same kind of thing or not.	`Public Total As Long` and `Public Sub Total()`; two `Sub Main`; two `Type Point`	Rename or remove one.
