    Question How is this possible? (array copy fails)

    Hello,

    Clearly the image speaks for itself.
    What can be the cause for the custom udt array db_Merge not copying over to tmpData ?

    Do you have an "On Error Resume Next" in this part of your code?

    And can you show us how those two variables are declared? I'm guessing both as the same UDT structure, but better to ask as maybe one is variant? Maybe show us the UDT structure also.

    I have an On Error goto [end of sub] with msgbox + erl, which shows a 'Object Variable or With block variable not set'

    No variants. Both are the same UDT. The idea was to avoid duplicating the same code twice, so I want to use a tmpData to take over.
    I must admit, the UDT is a lil complex, but this works %90 of the time. Only on certain occasions 'which I'm yet to trace', does this happen.

    Re: How is this possible? (array copy fails)

    I'll bet this is a VB6 bug I found a while back. When copying UDT arrays, it'll perform the copy even when the two UDTs aren't declared the same. And then, you can get into big trouble, possibly writing into memory areas you shouldn't be writing into.

    If the two UDT arrays are declared the same, then it's something different.

    I'll try and find the original thread and then come back and edit this post. Here it is, the original thread where this bug was documented.

    EDIT: some1uk03, you were posting when I was, but be sure to stare hard at the declaration of tmpData, dB, and db_Merge, making sure they're definitely declared with the same UDT Type declaration. The compiler (nor the IDE in p-code) won't catch it if they're not.
