SET required on class instance assignment (message explained)

You attempted to assign an object reference to a variable but omitted the Set keyword. (An object reference can be a reference to an instance of a user-defined class, a product object, an OLE automation object, or the constant NOTHING.) The Set keyword is required in object reference assignments. For example:

Class MyClass
' ...
End Class
Dim MyObj As New MyClass
Dim varV As Variant
varV = MyObj          ' Illegal syntax

Class MyClass
' ...
End Class
Dim MyObj As New MyClass
Dim varV As Variant
Set varV = MyObj     ' Legal syntax
