Best Practice Memory Question Regarding Functions that Return Object References
If I have a function that returns an object reference, such as this...
Sub GetRef()
MsgBox ObjRef.Name
End Sub
Function ObjRef() as Object
Set ObjRef = MyObj
End Function
What happens to that allocated memory space when the calling routine terminates? Is it automatically destroyed? Is it better to do something like this?
Sub GetRef()
Dim OR as Object
Set OR = ObjRef()
MsgBox OR.Name
Set OR = Nothing
End Sub
