Compile error: Object required

I'm trying to write a macro for Outlook 2007, and getting nonsensical compile

errors. For example: The following script results in "Compile error: Object

required"

Sub TestScript()

Dim x As Integer

Set x = 2

End Sub

Am I doing something wrong or is my Outlook VBA just broken?

RE: Compile error: Object required [ANSWER]

The "object required" error refers to the "Set" statement, which is only used

for assigning objects. When assigning simple variables, do not use "Set". The

correct code is:

Sub TestScript()

Dim x As Integer

' Set x = 2 results in "Compiler error: Object required"

x = 2

End Sub

The Set statement is used only for object variables; but you have declared x

as Integer, so x=2 would do it.
