Hi,
Maybe I was not clear enough.
I tried to move types but I keep on getting errors. I don't know very much about user defined types (it's a whole new part of VB to me, module classes aren't my thing to yet). Normally if I try to do something and I don't know were to start, a piece of sample code mostly gives me an indication where to begin. On this one, I have not a single clou how to proceed so a working example would be nice.
Thx
Sander

ok, this is a public Type example
public type MyRecord
myname as string
myage as integer
myIsMale as boolean
end type
public means you can use a definition in other modules.
Although, for some reason, you are not allowed to have Public Types in Form Modules or Class Modules. So what i do is make the Type private. This means it can only be accessed in the module it was created in.
Heres an example of a Private Type:
private type MyRecord
myname as string
myage as integer
myIsMale as boolean
end type
Also, with types you can do this:
Private Sub MySub (TheRecord As MyRecord)
'( because the type is private)
but you cannot do this:
Public Sub MySub (TheRecord As MyRecord)
' ( because the type is public)
public type MyRecord
myname as string
myage as integer
myIsMale as boolean
end type
