  • Article

It may not be possible to obtain a reference to a property at run time.This error has the following cause and solution:

  • You tried to get a reference to a property that's read-only at run time. Since you can use a reference for both reading and writing, the property must provide run-time support for both operations for a reference to be obtained at run time. You can only use a Property Get with this property.
