Collections

Why can't a programmer add more than one occurance of an object to a collection in the same procedure, ie..  while processing result sets, Vb6 would not add the correct result set field data to the collection in the same procedure.  I had to create an add sub procedure and pass it the record in order to have it added to the collection properly.  Listed below is an example:

This did not work properly:

While RDORS not EOF

 move RSFields to object fields
 Add to collection
 RS.Movenext

Wend

This did work:

While RDORS not EOF

 Call subprocedure passing RDORS object
 (subprocedure add to collection)
 RS.Movenext

Wend


TIA,

Can you paste the exact code here that didn't work?

Wes
What it looks like to me, is that in the first case (the one that didn't work).. you did not create a collection object before hand.. and that in the second case (the procedure).. you probably did.

Try this code out (I am using a Listview collection as an example)

Dim itmWork as Listitem

While RDORS not EOF

  ' Create collection object
  Set itmWork = lvwListview.ListItems.Add()

  ' Move fields
  With itmWork
    .Key = Rs.Key    
    .SmallIcon = NameOfPicture
    .Text = Rs.Text
    .subitems(1) = Rs.Field1
    .subitems(2) = Rs.Field2
    .subitems(3) = Rs.Field3
  End With

  ' Get Next Record
  RS.Movenext

Wend


follow code did not work

Dim o as New Collection
'...
o.Add rs!Field1
'...
rs.Close
'...
debug.print o(I)

Because you add the Field OBJECT to the collection, after recordset close, the field object cann't access, the right way is:

o.Add rs!Field1.Value

I am deleting because I have solved the issue separately, without using any of the comments.

The reason why it does not work is due to scope.  I have resolved by re-establishing the proper scope.
