    Hi, I hope that this is a fairly easy question for
    someone to answer...

    How can I test to see if an object in VB has been
    initialized using Set object = New UDT?

    I have defined a class, and within that class exists
    a data member of the same class. This data member
    may or may not be initialized at any given time.

    Here's what I've tried so far and it hasn't worked:


    If Me.Parent = Nothing Then
    ...
    Else
    ...
    End If


    Both Me and Me.Parent are of the type MyClass.
    VB gives me a runtime error basically telling me
    that I may not test for Me.Parent = Nothing.
    Any help is appreciated...

    Thanks.

    almost there
    Code:
    If Me.Parent Is Nothing Then
    Use
    writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13
    To throw away OOP for low level languages is myopia, to keep OOP is hyperopia. To throw away OOP for a high level language is insight.
