I have recently upgrade from SAS Add-in 5.1 to 7.1.  When I run my VBA code that calls a stored procedure with prompts, I get an error when defining the New SasPrompt (Run-time Error '-2148024894 (80070002)' Automation Error, The system cannot find the file specified.) The line in bold below is where the VBA code stops. 

 

Sub MoveSASFiles()
Dim sas As SASExcelAddIn
    Set sas = Application.COMAddIns.Item("SAS.ExcelAddIn").Object

Dim Prompts1 As SASPrompts
    Set Prompts1 = New SASPrompts
    Prompts1.Add "StartLib", "/sas_nas_allshr/PermData/"
    Prompts1.Add "DatasetMove", "Summary"
    sas.InsertStoredProcess "/selact/Move_to_AMO", Sheet1.Range("D11"), Prompts1
End Sub

This code worked fine in 5.1.  I aslo have the reference for the SAS Add-In 7.1 for Microsoft Office selected. 

When looking at the updates for 7.1, it looks like the Prompts controls may have changed.

Any help with calling a stored procedure with prompts through VBA SAS Add-in 7.1 would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you, 

Kyle

Any solution to this issue yet?

In order to SAS Support the solution is to change:

Set Prompts1 = New SASPrompts

with

Set Prompts1 = sas.CreateSASPromptsObject

 

Works for me.
