Help with object creation

I posted this on the Com and ActiveX forum with no luck. Would appreciate any help.

I posted to your original thread, but I'll post here as well. Try using the IsEmpty Command.

Example:

VB Code:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim ie As Object
 
If IsEmpty(ie) = True Then
    ie.Visible = True
Else
    MsgBox "called"
    Set ie = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
    ie.Visible = True
End If
 
End Sub

Hope this helps.

Alternative option, again, posted in the original thread:

I've always used Is Nothing:

Code:

---

If lobjObject Is Nothing then
    Set lobjObject = new DummyObject
End iF
