Help with passing user defined types as variables in functions - VB4 32bit

jdam.. #1 / 3	Help with passing user defined types as variables in functions - VB4 32bit I am defining about 20 different user types for database file layouts and I am trying to pass each type through a variable in a function but, I can't set a variable to a user defined type. I get a type mismatch if I use a variant. I looked at the AS ANY declaration but, this only works with DLL Declares. Is there any way to pass different user defined types through the same variable in a function or subroutine? Help will be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

Maybe it could work. You can use constants instead of numbers in the collection index for readability. Good luck! Fulvio

Type DataRecordType .... .... .... End Type Sub SomeRoutine(MyType as DataRecordType) ---------------- Randy Birch, MVP Visual Basic Moderator, Fidonet Visual Basic Programmer's Conference Visit VBnet at http://home.sprynet.com/sprynet/rasanen/
