Error

[SomethinCool]

When I load my program i get an error that says, "Object variable or with block variable not set"..what exactly does that mean? just that i didnt set a variable and it doesnt know what to do?

You might probably doing sth liek this:

Dim obj as MyClass
 
 
obj.ShowMsg "Hello"

where you should do sth like this:

Dim obj as MyClass
 
[b]Set obj = new MyClass[/b]
 
obj.ShowMsg "Hello"

Basically means that you are trying to reference an objects properties or methods before it has been instanciated.

Thanx for the english version, Lethal... I was lookin' for the better way to explain it, but you beat me

[SomethinCool]

well i tried doing stuff in directx like...

dim Dx as DirectX8
dim D3D as Direct3d8
dim D3DDevice as direct3ddevice8
 
Private Sub Form_load()
     d3ddevice.createimagesurface 1000, 1000, D3DFMT_A8R8G8B8
End Sub

and there is more code but that line gives me that error..why does it do that?

[Lethal]

Not sure which all objects are creatable or dependent objects, but try this:

dim Dx as DirectX8
dim D3D as Direct3d8
dim D3DDevice as direct3ddevice8

Private Sub Form_load()
    Set d3ddevice = New direct3ddevice8  '// Create an instance of the direct3ddevice object
    d3ddevice.createimagesurface 1000, 1000, D3DFMT_A8R8G8B8
End Sub

Creatable objects must be instantiated with the 'New' keyword, where as non-creatable objects are basically objects that are created within a parent object. For instance, the Folder object of the File System Objects Component.
