VBC09346 — Assignment to constant not permitted

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

A constant is assigned.

A constant has the value it is declared with, for as long as the code runs: Const declarations, and the members of an Enum, cannot be assigned.

MS-VBA reports the same error, with the same message (recorded in Excel).

How it is raised

Situation	Example	Resolution
A constant of the code.	`Const Limit = 10` … `Limit = 5`	Declare a variable instead, with `Dim`.
A member of an enumeration.	`Color.Red = 3`	Assign a variable of the enumeration's type.
