Declaring Public Const - is that forbidden in the declarations section of a form module?

MLH
I have a form module that starts out something like this...

Option Compare Database 'Use database order for string comparisons
.....

Then there's a line like this in it...

Public Const MyVar = 0

Clicking Run, Compile gives rise to an error there. Am I not supposed
to use "Public Const" in the declarations section of a form module?

".... In class modules [...] constants can only be private and their
visibility can't be changed using the Public keyword."

Class modules are aka form modules.

I just tried it in Access 2000 and got the following error message:

"Constants, fixed length strings, arrays, user defined types and declare
statements not allowed as public members of object modules"

Seems self-explanatory.

hi all, i've got a class that takes a parameterless function pointer as a parameter. i want to store that function pointer in a variable and i'm trying to figure out the syntax. i came up with the stuff below, but it's telling me it can't convert from void *(void) to void(void), which i didn't think i was doing. what's the proper syntax for defining and initializing a function pointer like this? thnks a bunch,

Hi, All: I read the following passage from a book: "There are three exceptions to the rule that headers should not contain definitions: classes, const objects whose value is known at compile time, and inline functions are all defined in headers.

There is already one function processing pointer values this way. And there may easily appear more, including wrappers for this function. For purposes of further discussion, consider simplified function, `consume'. It has one arg, INBUF, that points to a variable that points to the first character in the input buffer. The function never modifies characters pointed to by `*INBUF'. It, however, updates the `*INBUF' value to point to...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
