[RESOLVED] Microsoft Scripting Runtime

Hi guys,

I'm trying to use the Split() method in a module and I'm receiving an error informing me the function is undefined. I've inlcuded the Scripting Runtime in the references to the project but it's not made a difference.

Any idea why this might be happening?

Thanks

What version of Excel are you using?

I fail to see what the FileSystemObject has to do with this error..

Split is a VBA function, and this error will be due to either "MISSING" references, unsupported by the version of the VBA application you are using, or failure to disambiguate your code..

To disambiguate you will need to determine which other reference you are using and proceed the Split() with the reference itself..

For Example

VB Code:

Dim MyStr() As String
  MyStr = VBA.Split("Danny|M|King","|")
  Debug.Print MyStr(0)
  Debug.Print MyStr(1)
  Debug.Print MyStr(2)

It's Access, sorry should have specified that - Microsoft Access 97

Type VBA followed by the . if this is not in the list then it is not supported..

As far as I remember Access 97 does not support Split (It's A 2k or above function)

Thanks for the help - you're right, of course. Access 97 doesn't support Split.

Are there any other ways that a String can be "tokenized" using Access 97?

You would be better off creating your own split function to perform a similar job something like..

VB Code:

Private Function SplitStr(pString As String, pDelim As String, rArr() As String) As Boolean
  Dim strTemp As String
  Dim i As Long
  On Error GoTo ForcedExit
  SplitStr = False
  ReDim rArr(1 To 1)
  Do While InStr(pString, pDelim) > 0
    strTemp = Left(pString, InStr(pString, pDelim) - 1)
    i = i + 1
    ReDim Preserve rArr(1 To i)
    rArr(i) = strTemp
    pString = Mid(pString, InStr(pString, pDelim) + 1)
  Loop
  'there could be one more left so test and append if so
  If Len(pString) > 0 Then
    i = i + 1
    ReDim Preserve rArr(1 To i)
    rArr(i) = pString
  End If
  SplitStr = True
 
ForcedExit:
  On Error GoTo 0
End Function
Sub test()
  Dim MyStr() As String
  If Not SplitStr("Danny|M|King", "|", MyStr()) Then Exit Sub
  Debug.Print MyStr(1)
  Debug.Print MyStr(2)
  Debug.Print MyStr(3)
End Sub

Guess it's time I requested a newer version of Access.

Thanks for all the help, especially that last piece of code!
