importing functions from another file

[jimhwang]

Is it possible to import another visual basic (.bas) files which defines some functions to be used during run time? Basically, I would like to do something similar to the #include in C or Use/Require in Perl ?

Thanks,
Jim

Just choose 'Add Module' from the project menu and browse for the file. Ruairi

Actually, I was interested in a piece of VB code that would do just that.

ok, now i'm confused about what you are trying to do. if you want to have some precompiled functions you can call from different programs you would create an active-x .dll and create an instance of it in your program. How exactly do you want to use this?

He wants to INCLUDE code at compile time as you can do with sever side includes in Ac
tive Server Pages.

Look up "References" in help. The description there (I think) only refers to doing it manually, but if you follow the trail, you can see how to do it programatically, although I have never quite found a compelling need to do it that way. Perhaps if the referenced stuff was somewhat extensive and different apps used small sub-sets of the material?
