Object Reference error on a counter?!?!

:mad:

Under normal circumstances I am not TOO bad at trying to figure errors out. However, I can't seem to understand why I am getting the age ol' "Object reference not set to an instance of an object error" in this lil bit of code.

This is where I define my 'intTotalRecords'

Code:

---

        Connection.Open()
        Command.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM CompanyTable"
        Command.Connection = Connection
        DAdapter.SelectCommand = Command
        DAdapter.Fill(Dset, "MyTable")
        intTotalRecords = Dset.Tables("MyTable").Rows.Count
        Connection.Close()

---

However, I am getting the error here where I am attempting to set the value of intCount to the value that is held in total records + 1. The above block of code runs first to get the count of records. It may return 0 if no records exist and THAT I understand but I am not understanding the object reference in this instance!!!

Code:

---

      intCount = intTotalRecords + 1
        CompRec(intCount).CompID = intCount
        CompRec(intCount).Street = frmNew.txtStreet.Text
        CompRec(intCount).Phone = CInt(frmNew.txtPhone.Text)
        CompRec(intCount).AccntNum = frmNew.txtAccntNum.Text
        CompRec(intCount).Balance = CDec(frmNew.txtCurrBal.Text)
        CompRec(intCount).DateDue = CDate(frmNew.txtDateDue.Text)
        CompRec(intCount).WebUrl = frmNew.txtUrl.Text
        CompRec(intCount).State = frmNew.txtState.Text
        CompRec(intCount).Zip = CInt(frmNew.txtZip.Text)
        CompRec(intCount).CompName = frmNew.txtCompName.Text

---

Hope everyone is looking forward to a Merry Christmas.

Ok I have double checked the variable scope again and everything is currently public. I know even if no records exist within the table that rows.count will return 0 but I have dealt with that. I know that the Array of Structs that I am using is declared AND Instantiated correctly. This is really just chapping my ass.

There are few things to be noted here. The DAdapter.Fill method will open the connection and closes the connection during fill. There is no need to explicitly open and close the connection.

And for the enumurating the rows you could like

For intCount as Integer = 0 to Dset.tables("MyTable").Count -1 '-1 as the index will start from 0

Next IntCount

0.o too complex for me.
