Your comment led me to a little more research. Width
isn't just an Excel reserved word, as in Column.Width
. It's actually a VBA statement having to do with writing to text files, and it expects the number of a file opened for output.
Here's the text from Excel 2010 VBA help:
Width # Statement
Assigns an output line width to a file opened using the Open statement.
Syntax
Width #filenumber, width
The Width # statement syntax has these parts:
Part Description filenumber Required. Any valid file number. width Required. Numeric expression in the range 0–255, inclusive, that indicates how many characters appear on a line before a new line is started. If width equals 0, there is no limit to the length of a line. The default value for width is 0.
Example This example uses the Width # statement to set the output line width for a file.
Dim I
Open "TESTFILE" For Output As #1 ' Open file for output.
VBA.Width 1, 5 ' Set output line width to 5.
For I = 0 To 9 ' Loop 10 times.
Print #1, Chr(48 + I); ' Prints five characters per line.
Next I
Close #1 ' Close file.
