VBC09366 — A module is not a valid type

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

A declaration is typed with the name of a standard module.

A standard module is not a type: no variable, parameter or function result can be one. Only a class module, a user-defined type or an enumeration declares a type.

MS-VBA reports the same error, with the same message (recorded in Excel). A module of a library, such as Strings, is VBC09373 instead.

This code is raised where the types declarations are written with are resolved, where a ReDim states a type, and where a TypeOf ... Is names one.
