include files

[theemperor]

Hi there! My problem is that I'm a web-programme and therefore do not know how to include files in VB. I tried it with the "include file"-statement as it is common in VBScript, but this actually doesn't work! Can anybody tell me how I can include a file where I defined a bunch of constants in my main module and which extension do I have to use for this file?

thx in advance

You could store them in a BAS module, which has an extension .BAS.

Select 'add module' from the 'project' menu (or right click in the project explorer). The extension must be '.bas'

thanx a lot for the response...I have tried to do it the way you told me, but somehow it doesn't work. I get a compile error, telling me that the variable (const in my case) is not defined. I use the const in a private function. Is there a problem with the visability and are constants public by default?

thx, Robert

Hi

When you dim constants in a bas module and want to use them outside the module, You have to dim them as public:

Public const MyConst= "MyValue"

You can declare constant private or public (default = private).
Declare your constant like Public Const Mystring = "HELP" in the BAS module and you can use Mystring in every form and module in your project.
For more information search for Const in VB Help.
