VBA - "Can't find Project or Library" for standard VBA functions

So I'm having to run someone else's excel app on my PC, and I'm getting "Can't find Project or Library" on standard functions such as date, format, hex, mid, etc. Some research indicates that if I prefix these functions with "VBA." as in "VBA.Date" then it'll work fine. Webpages suggest it has to do with my project references on my sys...

Why do some languages, like C++ and Python, require the namespace of an object be specified even when no ambiguity exists? I understand that there are backdoors to this, like using namespace x in C++, or from x import * in Python. However, I can't understand the rationale behind not wanting the language to just "do the right thing" whe...

Why can a WPF/Silerlight XAML file parse without the default namespace?

I read that "the default namespace is important because otherwise the XAML parser will not recognize the elements". However, just as a test, I take it out and, although the visual designer cannot recognize the element names anymore, this Silverlight XAML runs just fine: <UserControl x:Class="Second12.Page" xmlns:x="http://schemas.m...

Does python have something like C++'s using keyword?

In C++ you can often drastically improve the readability of your code by careful usage of the "using" keyword, for example: void foo() { std::vector< std::map <int, std::string> > crazyVector; std::cout << crazyVector[0].begin()->first; } becomes void foo() { using namespace std; // limited in scope to foo vector< ma...
