RE: Reference to Solver in Excel 2007

I don't have Excel 2007. In earlier versions, Solver is an add-in that is not installed taking the "default" installation. You have to do a custom installation and check the Solver add-in.

RE: Reference to Solver in Excel 2007

Add a reference to solver.xlam (under program files/microsoft office/office12/library/solver) in the VB editor.  You should then be able to record solver sessions with the macro recorder.

I just recorded the following simple session:

CODE

Sub Macro2()
'
' Macro2 Macro
'

'
    SolverOk SetCell:="$B$4", MaxMinVal:=3, ValueOf:="0", ByChange:="$B$3"
    SolverSolve
    Range("B6").Select
End Sub

Also search the VBA help for solver.

The following link may also be helpful for running solver VBA in different versions of Excel:
