Object variable or With block variable not set (Error 91)

Question

I have the following code:

Sub AddSources()
    Dim pubPage As Page
    Dim pubShape As Shape
    Dim hprlink As Hyperlink
    Dim origAddress() As String
    Dim exportFileName As String
    exportFileName = "TestResume"
    Dim linkSource As String
    linkSource = "TestSource2"
    Dim hyperLinkText As TextRange



    For Each pubPage In ActiveDocument.Pages
        For Each pubShape In pubPage.Shapes
            If pubShape.Type = pbTextFrame Then
                For Each hprlink In pubShape.TextFrame.TextRange.Hyperlinks
                    If InStr(hprlink.Address, "http://bleaney.ca") > 0 Then
                        hyperLinkText = hprlink.Range
                        origAddress = Split(hprlink.Address, "?source=")
                        hprlink.Address = origAddress(0) + "?source=" + linkSource
                        hprlink.Range = hyperLinkText
                    End If
                Next hprlink
            End If
        Next pubShape
    Next pubPage
    ThisDocument.ExportAsFixedFormat pbFixedFormatTypePDF, "C:\" + exportFileName + ".pdf"
End Sub

I am getting the "Object variable or With block variable not set (Error 91)" error on the line with hyperLinkText = hprlink.Range. When I debug I can see that hprlink.Range does have a value. Any thoughts what I'm doing wrong?

Answer 1

As I wrote in my comment, the solution to your problem is to write the following:

Set hyperLinkText = hprlink.Range

Set is needed because TextRange is a class, so hyperLinkText is an object; as such, if you want to assign it, you need to make it point to the actual object that you need.
