This error typically occurs when you attempt to assign a value to something that can't accept the assignment. This error has the following causes and solutions:
- You attempted to use a numeric expression as an argument to the Len function.
The Len function doesn't accept a numeric expression, a numeric literal, or a binary numeric expression, but it does accept either a string or numeric variable, a string expression, or a variable of user-defined type.
- You used a function call or an expression as an argument to Input #, Let, Get, or Put. For example, you may have used an argument that appears to be a valid reference to an array variable, but instead is a call to a function of the same name.
Input #, Let, Get, and Put don't accept function calls as arguments.
- You attempted to assign a value to an identifier previously declared as a constant.
Choose another name for the identifier.
- You tried to use a nonvariable as a loop counter in a For...Next construction.
Use a variable as the counter.
- You tried to assign a value to a read-only property or to an expression that consists of more than one variable (such as X + Y). An assignment places a value at a memory location. The specified expression must represent a single, writable location.
Rewrite the assignment to a single variable name that can accept the data.
- You tried to use an undeclared variable that is defined as a constant in a type library.
Either use a different name for the variable, or declare it explicitly.
