Checking if somethng is Nothing

Hi

How can i check to see if an UDT array is nothing?

Thanks

Dim lTemp as long

On Error Resume Next

lTemp = LBound(MyUDTArrray)

If Err.Number <> 0 Then
msgbox "MyUDTArray has not been dimensioned!"
end if

On Error Goto 0

Thanks for your reply, but anyone know another way?
Im sure theres a way you can do it like

If UDTarray = nothing or similar

Well, with objects you can do

VB Code:

if theObject is nothing then
    'do whatever
end if

I'm pretty sure that won't work with UDT's though

Checking for an error in one way or another is the only way it can be done. "Nothing" can only be used with objects.

Arrays are not objects, and therefore can not be compared to nothing...

Think about it, you never do:

Set MyArray = New Array

Do you? so the array IS NOT AN OBJECT.. and will never ever, ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever be nothing... :eek:

I assumed when you said nothing in relation to an array you mean that it had not been dimensioned.. This is the closest to nothing an array will ever get. ;)

Thanks for your replies, i understand arrays are not objects, its just that when an array is not dimensioned, vb (in a tooltip) pops up the word 'nothing' when my mouse if hovered over the array, so i just thought maybe you could check it like you could with objects.

Ohwell, the On error will do fine, just i didnt want to do that if there was a simpler way

Thanks

VB Code:

If IsArray([i]MyArray[/i]) Then ...
