Problem with Allen Browne's Function TableInfo()

P

Photobug

I have downloaded Allen Browne's function TableInfo() and am getting a
ByRef Type Mismatch error when I try to execute it.

I don't know if it is a reference problem or not, but my references
for Access 2000 are set at:
VB for Applications
MS Access 9.0 Object Library
OLE Automation
MS ActiveX DataObjects 2.5 Library
MS VB for Apps Extensibility 5.3
MS DAO 3.6 Object Library

I tried moving the MS DAO 3.6 Object Library above the Active X
Library, but that didn't make any difference.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Perhaps if you cared to give a link to where you found the function,
and paste the code where you're using it, and state which line the
error occurs on.

Presumably the link is:
http://allenbrowne.com/func-06.html

Did it compile okay?
(Compile on Debug menu, in the code window.)

How did you call it?
In the Immediate Window (Ctrl+G), you use something like this:
? TableInfo("Table1")

If a particular line is highlighted when you get the error, it would be
useful to know which line, and what the error number is and the error
message.

I'm sorry I didn't provide enough information in my initial request -
this is the first time that I have posted a request to a user group.
Normally I just search the groups to find an answer.

You were right about the link and the program did compile correctly.
The error message didn't give a number and no line was highlighted
when I received the error message - so that's why I couldn't find the
problem.

However - you answered my question inadvertantly anyway - and I feel
like a dope! As soon as I saw your answer I realized what I had done
- I simply forgot to put the table name in quotes when I was running
it in the Immediate window. I know better than that! It's the simple
things that trip me up sometimes! Sorry to bother you - but thanks so
much for the quick reply.
