VB6 cannot recognize String, Right, Chr... 1

[vladk]

Got new PC, and my VB6 projects lost some basic references. Can anybody give a hint, what basic library(ies) I lost?

Thank you!

I have a similar problem in my application. I think there is probably a referenced component that is walking all over those functions.

To fix the problem, I had to put VBA. in front of everything.

Ex:

  MsgBox [!]VBA.[/!]Right("Blah", 3)

Without the VBA. part, I get an error message "Expected Array"

gmmastros,

Thank you, this indeed works! But why VBA? This is VB6 project.

All VB6 projects reference several other projects. You can't change this. If you start a new project and click Project -> References you will see what I mean. The first project listed is "Visual Basic For Applications". The String, right, and many other functions actually exist in those other references.

OK...
Why it stopped working by default...
