Help with structures!

Hi

 

I am trying to put some data into fieldname, fieldstartpos and fieldendpos, from a form, by:

 

Form Code

FieldName = txtFieldName.Text

 

This is in a module.

Public Structure FieldRecord ' Create user-defined type.

Public FieldName As String

Public FieldStartPos As Integer

Public FieldEndPos As Integer

End Structure

 

Public Field_List() As FieldRecord

 

But the problem i am facing is that is wont recognise fieldname - Could someone please tell me why?

 

Thanks.

What do mean it wont recoginze it? There is an error or what? What you have works for me after I initialized the array to a number.

I get the blue line underneath the FieldName in the form code, when its typed in.

 

I have enclosed the code in a zip below. The error is half way down the 'Private Sub listFields_SelectedIndexChanged' in the frmOptions form.

 

Thanks.

I can't open up the zip here, cos I'm at work, but try changing the name fieldname to something else, its probably just a reserved word.

Looking at the code the problem seems to be that you haven't declared a variable FieldName anywhere in the form, you will need to reference the structure containing the FieldName member. Something like

 

Dim f As FieldRecord
f.FieldName = txtFieldName.Text

Thanks - its always the simple things that get me!
