my `control` type has lower case c and doesnt work!

trying to declare a subroutine... ie

private sub blah(myvar As Control)

but the word `Control` changes to `control` when i move off the line, and i get a type mismatch when i try to assign to it. When i replace it with Variant, it works ok (and the first V in Variant stays in upper case). I`ve checked and i dont have any vars called `control` that may confuse it...why cant i use them? Someone else here can get upper case C`s - why not me?

Thanks in advance,
Alex.

not a problem here..sure you don't have something in
public or other declares

I was able to create your problem by declaring a Public variable "control" ("Public control As Double")in a code module, while the declare for "blah" was in another code module for a form.

Try "Dim control As Long" in in each of your code modules. See if you get an error message about multiple declares.

An easier approach. Go to Edit > Find and do a project-wide search for Control. If you find a declaration of it, remove it.
