object doesn't support this property or method

[BenB]

i'm getting the error

run-time error '438':
Object doesn't support this property or method

however the object i'm intending to use does have the property that causes
the error. The problem only occurs when i run two macros following one
another.

The first utilizes an msoFileDialogFolderPicker (which does not have the
property .Filters.Add) and the second utilizes an msoFileDialogOpen (which
does have the property .Filters.Add). I'm suspecting i have not closed the
msoFileDialogFolderPicker properly and it is referring to that instead of my
msoFileDialogOpen in the second macro... a portion of both macros is below...

thanks.






Sub SetDatabaseFolder()
Dim DatabaseFolder As String
Dim FilePath As String
Set dlgOpen = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
With dlgOpen
.AllowMultiSelect = False
.Filters.Clear
.Title = "Select Folder to set as Database Folder"
If .Show = -1 Then
DatabaseFolder = .SelectedItems(1)
' Set customdocument property named databasefolder to folder
that was selected
If IsDatabaseFolderDefined Then

Application.ActivePresentation.CustomDocumentProperties("databasefolder").Delete
