Wierd Error

[MrMoocow]

Okay I have 90 image boxes with tags, If th e user press next 6 is added to every tag.

So

For i = 0 to 89
temp = minpic(i)+6
minpic(i).tag = temp
Next i

Now unless i add a msgbox inbetween the minpic it will not work, then if i do add it it bombs out at the very end. Brad,

It is not wierd. The code is wrong. You may like to try the following:

For i = 0 to 89
temp = minpic(i).tag + 6
minpic(i).tag = temp
Next i

OOops,
Okay that was a typo, my code is .tag and i is still giving me errors. Brad,

Really? It works fine here (in a test bed where I just added 89 new image controls, and then ran the corrected tag update code). Perhaps you could provide a little more of your code to give some better context.

Here is the exact thing, Each of the images has a tag. I made sure of that.

For i = 0 To 89
temp = minpic(i).Tag + 6
minpic(i).Tag = temp
Next i

The code is weird? In my opinion it's equivalent to
For i = 0 to 89
minpic(i).tag = minpic(i).tag + 6
next i

Which then means that you take the value of a Tag, add 6 and stores the result into the same tag. That could be OK, but if my assumption is correct, then I have 2 questions:

1. Did you use any Dim statement to declare your variables?
The Tag property is a String variable to which you add a numerical value. If you didn't declare the temp variable, VB will make it a variant. That takes a lot of conversions and inevitable surprising results (if any).

2. Where did you initialize the tags? The first time you go through the loop minpic(0) will contain the Null string. VB will not allow numerical operations on Null strings.

So check your declarations and initializations before proceeding. (Option Explicit is not a waste of time, as some programmer's are tempted think) _________________________________

Problem is fixed, I don't know but I just retyped it and it worked. Brad,
