    Question

    What is the scope of an object returned by a Visual Basic function call

    To make the question clear
    Consider the VB code Below
    'Assume MyPackage.MyClass is a registered classname


    Global myObject as MyPackage.Myclass


    Public Function MyCalledFunction() as MyPackage.Myclass
    Dim MyLocalObject as MyClass

    Set MyLocalObject = CreateObject("MyPackage.Myclass")
    'Do something


    set MyCalledFunction = MyLocalObject
    End Function



    Public Sub MyCallerProcedure()
    'Do something else


    'Is it OK to Hold the refrence of the returned
    'object in a global variable like
    set MyObject = MyCalledFunction()

    End Sub

    It's OK.
    Use
    writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13
    To throw away OOP for low level languages is myopia, to keep OOP is hyperopia. To throw away OOP for a high level language is insight.
