VBC09363 — Expected variable or procedure, not module

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

The name of a standard module is used by itself, as a value or a procedure.

A standard module's name qualifies the names of its members (Globals.Counter): by itself it is no variable, no value and no procedure.

MS-VBA reports the same error, with the same message (recorded in Excel), for a module of your project and for a module of a library, such as Strings or VBA.Strings. A project is VBC09376 instead, and an enumeration VBC09377.

This code is raised where a name is resolved, bare or qualified.

How it is raised

Situation	Example	Resolution
A module assigned to a variable.	`x = Globals`, `x = VBA.Strings`	Name the member of the module: `x = Globals.Counter`.
A module called.	`Call Globals`, `Strings`	Name the procedure of the module: `Call Globals.Reset`.
A module as the target of an assignment.	`Strings = 1`, `Set Globals = Nothing`	Assign to a variable of the module: `Globals.Counter = 1`.

Where an operator, a Set statement's value, Len, a With block or a For Each loop has a module as its operand, the error is the one that place reports: a Type mismatch, Variable required, VBC09378, or VBC09379.
