Error when trying to use GetObject function

Asked by sjlevine34 in Microsoft Access Database

Tags:

I have written the following routine:

Public Function fPathToOle(strDocPath As String) As Object
Dim objDocument As Object

    On Error GoTo ErrfPathToOle
    Set objDocument = GetObject(strDocPath)
   
    Set fPathToOle = objDocument
ExitfPathtoOle:
    Exit Function
   
ErrfPathToOle:
    Resume ExitfPathtoOle
 
End Function

Thru stepping into each statement using the debugger, I found that the module errs on the statement "Set objDocument = GetObject(strDocPath)".  The Err.Description is "Object required".  At the time this happened, strDocPath was "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Pictures\Sample Pictures\sunset.jpg", a valid pathname to a file.

What am I not doing correctly here.
