Hi

I'm trying to pass a control in the parameter of a Subbut it's not working

this is my methode:


Sub MAJCombo(cltCombo As Control)
cltCombo.RowSource = strQuery
cltCombo.requery
end sub

In the after_Click event of my combo box:


Private Sub cboDimension_AfterUpdate()
Dim x as control
x = Me.Name
call MAJCombo(x)
end sub

I have the message type incompatibility and when I click on OK I have NAME
selected

Thanks for your help
 
Is your combo box named 'Name'? That's really not a good idea, as forms (and
many other objects) have a Name property. Your code is actually attempting
to assign the value of the form's Name property to the variable, and that is
the cause of the type mismatch error, as the Name property is of type Sting,
not Control.
