    Im getting a run time error "438" message on my Apple Mac Pro

    Hello

    I put together a down loader program to download stock quotes from the yahoo finance site, in excel 2007 on a windows based CPU, but when I go to run the same excel file on my Apple Mac Pro, using Excel 2016, I am getting an error message stating RunTime Error "438". I listed the VBA code below that works fine on my windows based computer but will not run on my Apple Mac Pro without the error message appearing. Does anyone have any suggestions for a fix to resolve this issue? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Hi, welcome to the forum

    Your post does not comply with Rule 3 of our Forum RULES. Use code tags around code.

    Posting code between [CODE]Please [url=https://www.excelforum.com/login.php]Login or Register [/url] to view this content.[/CODE] tags makes your code much easier to read and copy for testing, it also maintains VBA formatting.

    Highlight your code and click the # icon at the top of your post window. More information about these and other tags can be found here

    I will add them for you - this time
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    Regards
    Ford

    Hello JP were you able to get it to download in your mac without any errors by just copying the code to excel?

    I only looked at the second code because you said that's where the error was ;-P

    you need to remove these from the first part:

    and 437 isn't a valid value for .TextFilePlatform on mac office. I think you can only use 1 2 or 3
