Program used to work fine,not anymore

This program used to work fine once upon a time but when i tried running it again recently it gave me an error Compile error: User defined type not defined.Anyone has any idea why this happened? Please do me a favor n try running it for me on ur pc and c whether it gives u any problem. Please put and END at the end of this program because the box doesnt close automatically when it finishes wid the purging job.I have to manually close it.Please convert it to an exe once u r done.Thank you so much! :)

Zip up your project and post it. Do you have a reference to Microsoft Scripting Runtime? That would cause an error.

harjit,

Don't use END use Unload Me

Reference Microsoft Scripting RunTime and try using this...

VB Code:

Dim fso As FileSystemObject
Set fso = New FileSystemObject

What does this mean?Reference Microsoft Scripting RunTime ? Im new to vb, so I have no idea what this means.Plz help

You will find it under References. It is necessary if you wish to use the File System Object.

Load your project

On top bar go

Project --> Referances

Find the microsoft Scripting runtime and tick it

Click ok and compile it :)

Dim Report As String
Dim Path As String
Dim KeepDay As Integer
Dim root As Folder
Dim Fol1 As Folder
Dim Fol2 As Folder
Dim Fol3 As Folder
Dim File1 As File
Dim File2 As File
Dim vStart As Date
Dim vEnd As Date
Dim DelNum As Long
DelNum = 0
vStart = Now
RootPath = "C:\Xfiles\WIPFS\_AccMgr\Thruput\"
Open App.Path & "\Parameter.txt" For Input As #1
Do Until (EOF(1) = True)
    KeepDay = 0
    Input #1, KeepDay
Loop
Close #1
Open App.Path & "\DeletedFile.txt" For Output As #2
  Set root = fso.GetFolder(RootPath)
  For Each Fol1 In root.SubFolders
    Set Fol2 = fso.GetFolder(RootPath & Fol1.Name)
      For Each File1 In Fol2.Files
        If DateDiff("d", File1.DateLastModified, Date) > KeepDay Then
           Print #2, RootPath & Fol1.Name & "\" & File1.Name, DateDiff("d", File1.DateLastModified, Date)
           [B]lblFile.Caption = RootPath & Fol1.Name & "\" & File1.Name[/B]  
           fso.CopyFile RootPath & Fol1.Name & "\" & File1.Name, _
                RootPath & Fol1.Name & "\Archive\" & File1.Name, True
           fso.DeleteFile RootPath & Fol1.Name & "\" & File1.Name
           DelNum = DelNum + 1
        End If
        DoEvents
      Next

      For Each File1 In Fol2.Files
        If DateDiff("d", File1.DateLastModified, Date) > KeepDay Then
           Print #4, RootPath & Fol1.Name & "\" & File1.Name, DateDiff("d",   File1.DateLastModified, Date)
           lblFile.Caption = RootPath & Fol1.Name & "\" & File1.Name
           fso.DeleteFile RootPath & Fol1.Name & "\Archive\" & File1.Name

Print #1, "Start: " & vStart, "End: " & vEnd, "Successfully Delete " & DelNum & " Files."
Close #1
End Sub

harjit,

You are asking us to guess with out seeing your project. Does lblFile actually exist? Do you use Option Explicit in all your forms and Modules?

Yes, lblFile actually exist, it stands for label file, this is my program, i fired it long ago, now that I want to modify my codes and I cant do it, cause the line that I showed you keeps giving me problem. Any idea?

Do you not have to set file1 before trying to find its name :confused:

File1?Meaning?I dunt really think there's a problem wid my codes coz these r the same codes I used to purge my files,all i wanna do is put an END function right below this program, cause the only drawback this prog has is it doesnt close its window once it has completed its job.But what i dunt get is the new error that keeps popping up out of nowhere, ive mentioned it earlier in my post,plz help
