Excel VBA Run Time Error '424' object required - vba

Question

I am totally new in VBA and coding in general, am trying to get data from cells from the same workbook (get framework path ...) and then to start application (QTP) and run tests.
I am getting this error when trying to get values entered in excel cells:
Run Time Error '424' object required
I believe I am missing some basic rules but I appreciate your help. Please see below the part of code in question:
Option Explicit
Private Sub RunTest_Click()
Dim envFrmwrkPath As Range
Dim ApplicationName As Range
Dim TestIterationName As Range
'Dim wb As Workbook
'Dim Batch1 As Worksheets
Dim objEnvVarXML, objfso, app As Object
Dim i, Msgarea
Set envFrmwrkPath = ActiveSheet.Range("D6").Value ' error displayed here
Set ApplicationName = ActiveSheet.Range("D4").Value
Set TestIterationName = ActiveSheet.Range("D8").Value

Answer 1

The first code line, Option Explicit means (in simple terms) that all of your variables have to be explicitly declared by Dim statements. They can be any type, including object, integer, string, or even a variant.
This line: Dim envFrmwrkPath As Range is declaring the variable envFrmwrkPath of type Range. This means that you can only set it to a range.
This line: Set envFrmwrkPath = ActiveSheet.Range("D6").Value is attempting to set the Range type variable to a specific Value that is in cell D6. This could be a integer or a string for example (depends on what you have in that cell) but it's not a range.
I'm assuming you want the value stored in a variable. Try something like this:
Dim MyVariableName As Integer
MyVariableName = ActiveSheet.Range("D6").Value
This assumes you have a number (like 5) in cell D6. Now your variable will have the value.
For simplicity sake of learning, you can remove or comment out the Option Explicit line and VBA will try to determine the type of variables at run time.
Try this to get through this part of your code
Dim envFrmwrkPath As String
Dim ApplicationName As String
Dim TestIterationName As String

Answer 2

Simply remove the .value from your code.
Set envFrmwrkPath = ActiveSheet.Range("D6").Value
instead of this, use:
Set envFrmwrkPath = ActiveSheet.Range("D6")

Answer 3

You have two options,
-If you want the value:
Dim MyValue as Variant ' or string/date/long/...
MyValue = ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1).Range("A1").Value
-if you want the cell object:
Dim oCell as Range ' or object (but then you'll miss out on intellisense), and both can also contain more than one cell.
Set oCell = ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1).Range("A1")

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Workbooks("Textfile_Receiving").Sheets("menu").Range("g1").Value = PROV.Text
Workbooks("Textfile_Receiving").Sheets("menu").Range("g2").Value = MUN.Text
Workbooks("Textfile_Receiving").Sheets("menu").Range("g3").Value = CAT.Text
Workbooks("Textfile_Receiving").Sheets("menu").Range("g4").Value = Label5.Caption
Me.Hide
Run "filename"
End Sub
Private Sub MUN_Change()
Dim r As Integer
r = 2
While Range("m" & CStr(r)).Value <> ""
If Range("m" & CStr(r)).Value = MUN.Text Then
Label5.Caption = Range("n" & CStr(r)).Value
End If
r = r + 1
Wend
End Sub
Private Sub PROV_Change()
If PROV.Text = "LAGUNA" Then
MUN.Text = ""
MUN.RowSource = "Menu!M26:M56"
ElseIf PROV.Text = "CAVITE" Then
MUN.Text = ""
MUN.RowSource = "Menu!M2:M25"
ElseIf PROV.Text = "QUEZON" Then
MUN.Text = ""
MUN.RowSource = "Menu!M57:M97"
End If
End Sub
