VBC09374 — Expected user-defined type, not project

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

A type is written with the name of a project or a library, such as VBA.

A project holds modules and types, and is not a type itself. A type of a library is written after the library's name and a dot: VBA.Collection.

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

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.

How it is raised
