Package.FindObject method

[Tonu]

Hi,

I have a problem with package.FindObject
It seems to work with constant strings but not with variables. Has anyone experienced similar behavior.

Working code (returns the correct element):

          Set e = package.FindObect("XXX")

Code that should do the same to my understanding

          Dim tmpName as String

          tmpName = "XXX"
          Set e = package.FindObect(tmpName)

I have experimented different types of tmpName (String, Variant, Byte()) but the result is the same -- code returns an error "Can't find matching object" even if the object is there and findobject finds it as far as the argument is constant string.

Best regards
Tonu

PS I am using VB 6.0

Hello Tonu,
What version of EA are you running and what type of repository are you using?  I have tried this using EA 7.0.815 with an EAP file and did not have any problem with this function under VB 6.0.

I was using EA professional 6.5.xxx (do not know the exact build)

After having problems I upgraded to 7.0.813, but it did not change the behaviour. I am using the Jet database (jet 3.6 I believe as jet 4.0 checkbox is off in EA settings).

I will try clean install of EA at some point and let you know the results.
