How do you know if there is something in an object

Dim rstObjct As Object

Set rstobjct = pvsomething

If rstobjct = Nothing Then

The if statement does not work. How do I do this?

Can anyone help?

Thanks
 
hey i think the problem is that
you didnot end the if statement ot give me more details
 
JustinEzekiel proposed the correct solution: You shouldn't use the = sign to check if an object exists. In an If statement, you basically use the = as a comparison operator, but if the object doesn't exist, there is nothing to compare with...

A somewhat more structured way to put it, could be:

Select Case rstObjct Is Nothing
Case True

Case False

End Select
