  # Object doesn't support named arguments (Error 446)
  
  Not all objects support [named arguments](../../Glossary/vbe-glossary.md#named-argument). This error has the following cause and solution:
  
  
  
  - You tried to access an object whose [methods](../../Glossary/vbe-glossary.md#method) don't support named arguments.
      
      Specify [arguments](../../Glossary/vbe-glossary.md#argument) positionally when performing methods on this object. See the object's documentation for more information on argument positions and types.
      
  
  For additional information, select the item in question and press F1 (in Windows) or HELP (on the Macintosh).
