    Warning Ugly Technical Question ;)

    Just looked at the code ... ttt1 and 2 should have been If ginPNID <> 0 Then In this case test2 runs in < 1 second ... however its not the DIM statement that is allocating the memory its the SET statements so PHV's answer is still correct.

    Warning Ugly Technical Question ;)

    Well PHV is king!!! 8 secounds to execute both examples SO NO DIFFERENCE Thanx for the responses. Option Compare Database Option Explicit Public Function test1() ginPNID = 0 Dim i As Long Debug.Print "test1"; Time For i = 1 To 10000 Call ttt1 Next i Debug.Print...

    Warning Ugly Technical Question ;)

    I can see the DIM automatically allocating variable space at compile time ... but not so clear on Objects ... given a DAO object, is all the info available at compile time to be able to allocate the appropriate size of the object. The compiler is most likely making an allocation for a far...

    Warning Ugly Technical Question ;)

    Does anyone know if adding DIM statements inside an IF statement is of any benifit to the speed of an Application? In other words; Would these 2 examples produce the same compile/token code in ACCESS VBA? DIM blah As <Object> IF Foo = TRUE THEN ' do some work END IF VS IF Foo = TRUE THEN...

    DPI Confusion

    Thanx for the reply. I guess I am still stuck on why a number of 120dpi is larger then 96dpi ... if all things are relative to the resolution PPI (pixels per inch) then we can probably assume the INCH in DPI is a misleading term (not actually an inch) ... Would this mean that lets say a font...

    DPI Confusion

    Can someone Please explain what is going on with the DPI settings in XP? I have a screen that is supposed to be 1680 x 1050 pixels with a screen that is roughly 13" x 8.25" ... this works out to be about 130 pixels per inch I read 96dpi as being 96 dots per inch The advanced screen settings...

    Cleanup issue?

    I just built a simple address book with a dynamic search form and now have a problem with a field that won't clean up. When a table is created it creates an ID autonumber for the primary index ... normally I go and rename this field ... not sure what I did this time but none of my tables have...
