Call works well - thanks for the replies, both of you. I just thought VB would be smart enough to call the function and throw away the return value if I didn't involve an assignment operator.. Ahh well. Cheers! Hiero

That seems bizarre. Surely if I have a function.. function func(ByVal a as Integer) func = a*10 end function Then I can call this as either DIm b as integer b = func(10) But also, func(10) - where I throw away the return value. Either of these cases surely should be fine? It has...

Gday, I've very little experience with VB, so am remedying that. I'm writing a fun little app that will let me document my data CD collection. Ie, you put a CD in, hit 'Document', and away you go. A DB searched will tell lots of interesting things, and should avoid those 30 minute...

Actually, something I'd be very interested to know is whether I am on the right track at all with this: I wish to access a CD drive, and process the files/folders within the CD. Can I get easy access to the D drive say, through an FSO? As in.. Dim fso As FileSystemObject Dim...

Cheers Wayne, works beautifully. I can now declare FSO objs, and Folder objs etc.. One object still can't be declared - another "User-defined type not def". This may not matter - the type is 'Node'.. ie Dim target_node As Node I assume this is used in tree operations, and I don't think I...

Wayne, Rachaels post is interesting, but not really related to my problem. I have a referencing problem. I have a standard winXP install with standard MSAccess2k install, and standard references ticked. When I declare a simple instance of a FileSystemObject, I get the message, "User-defined...

I get error messages along the lines of "User-defined type not found" when it encounters declaration of a FSO. I know this means I'm not referencing the appropriate VB library, but I'm not sure which one to check. Perhaps my machine doesn't have the full VB library by default, and I need to dl...

Hi there, Basically, I want some functionality in a simple mdb module which Access doesn't seem to support - ie, I want to write a nice recursive function to trash through a CD and record details about the files and folders in a relational db. Access 2k doesn't seem to like me trying to use...

No prob, I love miscellany!

Thanks for that. :)

Hi there, There are several issues that I'm hoping you're expertise can help me with. 1) I have made a nice big Access 2k .mdb for a business, but when it runs in MS Access I dislike how there is an entry in the Windows taskbar for each Open form of the database. It would be more...

Hmm.. I know how to use cascading comboboxes etc.. What I need to do is the same concept, but within ONE combobox. The best analogy is the windows start button system, where you hit start, then go to programs, and another list of options "branches" off to the left... etc etc etc. Can this...

Don't you ever agree on a contract price before commencement rather than hourly? 125 pounds an hour is nuts. :) Must make a killing.

Something that would be very useful for me to be able to do, would be to have a combo, which when selected drops down and has more options, which when clicked on, drop down adjacent to the first drop down. Basically similar to the way the Windows START button works.. it drops up though eh? :)...

Interesting.. cheers. I should take this opportunity to ask a few other questions, * How much do I charge my clients roughly? I understand it would be less than a professional developer, but I have no idea what they charge either. :) * How do I prove it is my design?! * Can MDE files be...
