VB 6 in xp functions not working

[timotai]

Hi all

This is strange and I can't see why it is happening, probably something stupid.

I have a VB project that Ive just started trying to use in XP (build in NT4). Functions such as String$, Date, Left$, right$, space$, etc will not work. It just keeps giving complie errors.

Does anyone know why

Thanks

Tim

I use functions like "left", "right", et al, but they do not use the "$" in the function call.

Look under Project->References and see if there are any references marked "Missing:". If there are any that are missing, even ones that don't seem to afect the functions causing the compile errors, you will get this error. To fix it, find the required dlls for the missing references and install them.

Some have been replaced by coercive functions such as CStr, CDate, etc.
Maybe try using these instead?

>use functions like "left", "right", et al

In which case you are getting variants rather than strings returned to you.

>Some have been replaced

Eh?

Most, if not all of the functions you mention are part of the 'vba' object. Try replacing the function call with vba. in front of it. For example,

vba.Left$(.....
