The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

VB 6, optional parameter in Public Sub

Asked by Aquarus in Visual Basic Programming

Tags: VB 6, Optional paraeter in Public Sub

This is the declaration of the Public Sub:
Public Sub InitializeForm(ByVal strContractCode As String, ByVal lngUnitID As Long, _
                            ByVal strUnitCode As String, ByVal strPropertyName As String)

I have changed this declaration into the following because I need to pass 2 new parameters:
Public Sub InitializeForm(ByVal strContractCode As String, ByVal lngUnitID As Long, _
                            ByVal strUnitCode As String, ByVal strPropertyName As String, _
                            Byal dtVoucherDate As Date, ByVal lngVoucherID As Long)

During the compilation for new .exe file I found out that there are more places where this function is caled from but I can not provide values for these 2 new parameters. The compiler told me that "value is not optional" when the refermce to this function was discovered.

I decided to fix this by making the following change into the call of this Public Sub:

Public Sub InitializeForm(ByVal strContractCode As String, ByVal lngUnitID As Long, _
                            ByVal strUnitCode As String, ByVal strPropertyName As String, _
                            Optional dtVoucherDate As Date, Optional lngVoucherID As Long)

The compiler recompiled and built the new .exe for me.

Please tell me if this fix resolved my issue or there are still a risk within this application that if this Public Sub is called from somwhere I was not able to find I may have an unhandled break?
