Problem Note 46149: An invalid pointer error occurs when you open a SAS® Financial Management form or template
 |  |  |  |
The following error might be displayed when you open a SAS® Financial Management data-entry form or report in Microsoft Excel:
System Error &H80004003 (-2147467261). Invalid pointer
This error might occur if the report or data-entry form contains custom VBA code that uses the SAS Financial Management API GetMember method.
For example, the following code produces the error:
Dim table As FMTable
Dim crs As FMCossing
Dim fmMem As FMMember
Dim fmHier As FMHierarchy
Set crossing = Table.Crossing(ActiveCell.Row, ActiveCell.Column)
Dim sDim As string 'Dimension code
Set fmMem = Crossing.GetMember(sDim)
To correct this problem replace the line that contains the GetMember method call with the following two lines:
'-- Set fmMem = Crossing.GetMember(sDim)
Set fmHier = Table.Hierarchies(sDim)
Set fmMem = fmHier.Members(sMem)
