Tough stuff - API's

[adamstarwars]

Hey Guys, just wondering if you guys could help me out here. The code is pretty complicated (for me anyway) and I have pasted it all here but highlighted the bit that's causing the error in red and emboldened it.
The error I get is: "Compile error: Invalid qualifier"
Thanks you in advance for your help

Code:
Public Function dcMozRankGet(ByVal sWebSiteURL As String) As Integer

Sheets("Sheet2").Select

Dim sAccessID As String
sAccessID = Range("M1").Select

Dim sSecretKey As String
sSecretKey = Range("M2").Select

Dim lExpires As Long
lExpires = DateDiff("s", DateSerial(1970, 1, 1), Now()) + 300

Dim sSafeSignature As String
Dim sURLToFetch As String
Dim sResult As String
sWebSiteURL = HttpUtility.UrlEncode(sWebSiteURL)
sSafeSignature = Encode(sAccessID, lExpires, sSecretKey, vbLf)
sURLToFetch = "http://lsapi.seomoz.com/linkscape/mozrank/" & _
sWebSiteURL & "?AccessID=" & sAccessID & "&Expires=" & lExpires & _
"&Signature=" & sSafeSignature
sResult = sGetData(sURLToFetch)
sResult = Mid$(sResult, InStr(sResult, """umrp"":") + 7)
sResult = sResult.Split(",")(0)
dcMozRankGet = CDec(sResult)
End Function


Public Function Encode(ByVal sAccessID As String, _
ByVal lExpires As Long, _
ByVal SecretAccessKey As String, ByVal Separator As String) As String
Dim sAccessExpires As String
sAccessExpires = sAccessID & Separator & lExpires
Dim strSig_UTF8 As Byte
Dim strSignature As String
Dim objUTF8Encoder As UTF8Encoding
Dim objHMACSHA1 As New HMACSHA1
objUTF8Encoder = New UTF8Encoding
strSig_UTF8 = objUTF8Encoder.GetBytes(sAccessExpires)
objHMACSHA1 = New HMACSHA1
objHMACSHA1 = (bjUTF8Encoder.GetBytes(SecretAccessKey))

strSignature = Convert.ToBase64String _
(objHMACSHA1.ComputeHash( _
objUTF8Encoder.GetBytes( _
sAccessExpires.ToCharArray())))
Encode = HttpUtility.UrlEncode(strSignature)
End Function


Public Function sGetData(ByVal sURL As String) As String
Dim Writer As StreamWriter
Writer = Nothing
Dim WebRequestObject As HttpWebRequest
Dim sr As StreamReader
Dim WebResponseObject As HttpWebResponse
Dim sbResultsBuilder As New StringBuilder
Dim sBuffer(8192) As Char
Dim iRetChars As Integer
WebRequestObject = CType(WebRequest.Create(sURL), HttpWebRequest)
WebRequestObject.UserAgent = "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.2; .NET CLR 1.0.3705"
WebRequestObject.Method = "GET"
WebRequestObject.Timeout = 55000
WebRequestObject.ReadWriteTimeout = 55000
WebRequestObject.AllowAutoRedirect = True
If Not (oCookies Is Nothing) Then
WebRequestObject.CookieContainer = oCookies
End If
WebResponseObject = CType(WebRequestObject.GetResponse(), HttpWebResponse)

sr = New StreamReader
sr = (WebResponseObject.GetResponseStream)
Do
iRetChars = sr.Read(sBuffer, 0, sBuffer.Length)
If iRetChars > 0 Then sbResultsBuilder = Append(sBuffer, 0, iRetChars)
End If
Loop While iRetChars > 0
sGetData = sbResultsBuilder.ToString
End Function

hi,

oh visual basic that's years ago but i do remember that error message.The qualifier is the first part of a name in dot notation probably it means you're using a wrong name Text1.Text etc etc check the component names on your vb form
