merge two collections

[okiedokie]

Hi All,

Does anyone know an easy way to merge two collections in vb.
i tried the following code

Private Sub cmdMerge_Click()

Private col1 As New Collection
Private col2 As New Collection
Private col3 As New Collection

col1.Add "1", "1"
col2.Add "2", "2"

col3 = col1 + col2
End Sub

and it flopped!
Any suggestions pl? Thanx in advance

try this,

Public Function MergeCollections(Coll1 As Collection, Coll2 As Collection) As Collection

Dim retval As New Collection
Dim varTemp As Variant

For Each varTemp In Coll1

    retval.Add varTemp
    
Next varTemp

For Each varTemp In Coll2

    retval.Add varTemp
    
Next varTemp

Set MergeCollections = retval
End Function

it won't do the keys though, I'm not sure if that's possible, I can't seem to find a way of getting at the keys.

Hmm...I actually want to avoid the for loops and any other loops...that will be the final resort.
