    run time error '340' - Control array element '29' doesn't exsit

    Hi All!

    I got this error:
    run time error '340' - Control array element '29' doesn't exsit

    When I press the Debug button,
    I'm in this bold line:

    For i = 1 To 28
    ETSI_Selector(i).Value = 0
    ETSI_Selector(i).Visible = False
    ETSI_No(i).Visible = False
    ETSI_Test(i).Visible = False
    Next i

    What can I do?

    10X!!!

    How can 29 be in play? Your loop only goes from 1 to 28.

    Either create control array element 29 or make your loop from 0 to 28

    If there is a third choice, it escapes me.

    My loop is from 1 to 28!

    How the error can be by 29?

    That's what I asked.
    Run it again, when you get the error, hover of the variable i and what is its value? Is it 29?

    If so, is i declared at the top of your form? If so, it may have been changed due to a call to one of your other events, i.e., ETSI_Selector(i) click event for example. In this case, DIM i in the same routine that your for:next loop is running in

    Re: run time error '340' - Control array element '29' doesn't exsit

    It's never a good idea to hardcode counters if you can use some dynamic input: in case of control array you have Lbound/Ubound:
    Code:
        For i = ETSI_Selector.LBound To ETSI_Selector.UBound
            '...
        Next i
    You'd still need some basic error handler to trap non-existant members (control could've been unloaded).

    i decllration:

    Option Explicit

    Dim i As Integer

    Private Sub Form_Load()

    i = 0

    ' Clear & Disable ETSI Objects (Selectors, ETSI No. & Test Name)
    ETSI_Selector(0).Visible = False
    ETSI_No(0).Visible = False
    ETSI_Test(0).Visible = False

    For i = 1 To 39
    Load ETSI_Selector(i)
    Load ETSI_No(i)
    Load ETSI_Test(i)
    Next


    Private Sub ClearSelectedTests()

    For i = 1 To 39
    ETSI_Selector(i).Value = 0

    ETSI_Selector(i).Visible = False
    ETSI_No(i).Visible = False
    ETSI_Test(i).Visible = False
    Next i

    Re: run time error '340' - Control array element '29' doesn't exsit

    That should answer your question and verifies my assumptions in previous reply. The variable i is being changed outside of your loop. As I suggested, DIM it in your routines that you use it in, or better yet, DIM a different variable and use that. Do not allow your for:next loops to use the shared i variable and your problem will go away.

    Edited: Rhinobull's suggestion is a good one to implement.

    Re: run time error '340' - Control array element '29' doesn't exsit

    In the Private Sub ClearSelectedTests():

    I remark the 3 lines, as you can see below,
    and it works!

    What is wrong here? the line "ETSI_Selector(i).Value = 0" is working in this For loop

    For i = 1 To 39
    ETSI_Selector(i).Value = 0

    'ETSI_Selector(i).Visible = False
    'ETSI_No(i).Visible = False
    'ETSI_Test(i).Visible = False
    Next i

    Re: run time error '340' - Control array element '29' doesn't exsit

    If that works then this should also work.
    Code:
    For i = 1 To 39
    	ETSI_Selector(i).Value = 0
    	ETSI_Selector(i).Visible = Falsese
    Next i
    Can you try it?

    Re: run time error '340' - Control array element '29' doesn't exsit

    It works but only if i is 1 to 2.

    I tried another thing:

    I remark the first line only:

    For i = 1 To 39
    'ETSI_Selector(i).Value = 0
    ETSI_Selector(i).Visible = False
    ETSI_No(i).Visible = False
    ETSI_Test(i).Visible = False
    Next i

    It works!!!

    I don't undrestand why...?

    Re: run time error '340' - Control array element '29' doesn't exsit

    It didn't work!

    I tried another thing and its works! I don't understand the differents:

    For i = 1 To 39
    ETSI_Selector(i).Value = 0

    'ETSI_Selector(i).Visible = False
    'ETSI_No(i).Visible = False
    'ETSI_Test(i).Visible = False
    Next i

    ETSI_Selector(1).Visible = False
    ETSI_Selector(2).Visible = False
    .
    .
    .
    ETSI_Selector(28).Visible = False

    ETSI_No(1).Visible = False
    ETSI_No(2).Visible = False
    ETSI_No(3).Visible = False
    .
    .
    .
    ETSI_No(28).Visible = False

    ETSI_Test(1).Visible = False
    ETSI_Test(2).Visible = False
    ETSI_Test(3).Visible = False
    .
    .
    .
    ETSI_Test(28).Visible = False

    If you can upload your project with the faulty form then we may be able to check what's going on.

    Re: run time error '340' - Control array element '29' doesn't exsit

    li9erYol, can you confirm that you have removed the declaration of i from the top and placed it in the routines with the loop? (see posts #5 & #8)
    Code:
    Option Explicit
    
    Dim i as Integer '<-- bad, will potentially cause problems in loops 
    
    Private Sub ClearSelectedTests()
      Dim i as Integer '<-- good, no issues with scope
    
      For i = 1 To 39
        ETSI_Selector(i).Value = 0
        ETSI_Selector(i).Visible = False
        ETSI_No(i).Visible = False
        ETSI_Test(i).Visible = False
      Next i 
    End Sub
    It is also advisable for follow RhinoBull's advice and use LBound() and UBound() to determine the array bounds.

    Re: run time error '340' - Control array element '29' doesn't exsit

    I'm using the Option Explicit to another variables,

    Can I do what you write?

    Can you please explain me why:

    * Dim i as Integer is bad, will potentially cause problems in loops ?

    * Dim i as Integer and no issues with scope?

    Thanks again!!!

    Me speak simple English.
    Code:
    Option Explicit
    
    ' MUST BE REMOVED
    Dim i as Integer
    ' Because: it will be SHARED with ALL procedures
    ' When changed in one place, changed everywhere
    
    Private Sub ClearSelectedTests()
      ' Instead: add it in each procedure
      Dim i as Integer
      ' Because: no longer shared with other procedures!
    
      For i = 1 To 39
        ETSI_Selector(i).Value = 0
        ETSI_Selector(i).Visible = False
        ETSI_No(i).Visible = False
        ETSI_Test(i).Visible = False
      Next i 
    End Sub

    Merri, suggest you change from: 1 to 39, to: 1 to 28

    Milk typo. He fix too.

    Edit!

    Or not a typo at all, 39 is in Y's own code.

    Ah, you are correct sir, I see 2 different values in 2 different posts -- good eye.
    Which indicates that RhinoBull's suggestion in post #6 is worth implementing.
