Object Instance from Class Module

[caseye]

I am trying to create an objet from a class module in the same project And I dont know If have the syntax right because after i create it i can not access the public properties I know the class module works because i can create it at declaration but i dont want to do that here is what i am using.
Thanx in ad vanced

Set TempObj = CreateObject(Contact)

The reason for this is TempObj is used for different classes at different places in the code. Instead of creating individual variables for each class I have a temp container because when the objects are created they are immediately added to a collection.

 

[CCLINT]

Dim TempObj As Object
Set TempObj = new Contact
Set TempObj = Nothing

Set TempObj = New Appointment
Set TempObj = Nothing

If you really want to do it that way.....

If you have a better way i am all ears

Also when I try it the way you specified i get a type mismatch error.

 

[CCLINT]

I guess I didn't see the word "collection" the first time. Is that correct...is the Dim TempObj As Object in a collection class, or being added to a normal collection?
Are you adding two different objects to the same collection?

 

[caseye]

It is adding the same objects to the collection how ever there are several different object collections each containing a collection of a particular object. thats the intent anyway. that is the reason for the tempObj. that way i dont have to create a temp variable for each type of

I am New to collections and have not worked much with OOP in visual basic. So I might be going about this project the wrong way.

You didn't say if your project is an exe or activeX. I don't believe you can use createobject to call a class within an exe project. CreateObject creates and returns a reference to an ActiveX object.

Also, "Set TempObj = CreateObject(Contact)" should read
Set TempObj = CreateObject("projectName.Contact&quot if it is an aciveX dll or activeX exe project. Note use of quotes

I think cclint advice is better if your project is an exe.
