Noticed a problem with Integer overflows for very large values of NPath complexity, the CheckStyle team fixed the same overflow issue themselves a while back.

The fix is pretty simple, just need to change the declaration for ‘values’ from Integer to Long. See below

Function CalculateScore(n As String) As Variant
If (n = “score”) Then
CalculateScore = n
Else
Dim values(0 To 2) As Long
values(0) = -1
values(1) = -1

It looks like XlXmlImportResult is not available to VBA. This could be your version of Excel or it could be a missing Microsoft XML DLL. To be honest, I haven’t seen this problem before.

When I try to import the xml into the excel worksheet I get a “User-defined type not defined” compile error pointing at code “Dim result As XlXmlImportResult”. Is this because I’m using Excel 2002?
