public function not recognized by another form....

Author	Message
M.A. #1 / 5	public function not recognized by another form.... --It was my understand that if I declare a function with as Public in one form's code then it is available for use in a different form. But when I call that Public function from another form I get an error stating that the function is not defined. As a temporary workaround, I have had to copy the function into each form that will call it but this is obviously redundant and should be avoidable if I could get the damn Public statement to work....help! Thanks, MA

John Keysto #2 / 5	public function not recognized by another form.... It is avaialble. However, you have to call it as a method of the form in which it is declared. For example, if you have a function called TestFunction() declared as Public in Form1, you can access it from any other form or module as follows:. y = Form1.TestFunction(x) John...........

For instance when calling Function1 from Form2; Form1------ Public Function Function1(strOut as String) Debug.Print strOut End Function Form2------ 'call to Function1 Form1.Function1 "some stuff to print" -- yabba =========================== yabbadoo<at>bigfoot<dot>com

The way I do it (and it was recommended to me) was to add a .bas module to your project and add all your public functions to it. Then you can access those functions from any form at any time. You can also use the .bas module in all your projects (which you couldn't do if you had your public functions in a form). Works great! :) Otser.
