Hi All,
I'm trying my hardest to learn VBA but have run into a problem which
hopefully someone can guide me with.
Basically what I am trying to achieve is to get the database to check the
users Outlook Inbox every hour for the existence of a mail from a certain
address. If it finds one, it saves the attachment and then imports the
contents of the attachment. However, before the import takes place, the text
file is checked to make sure that certain criteria are met.
At a timer event, a Private Sub runs which during it's course ,calls 2 other
public subs. One of the public subs does a couple of checks to make sure
that the data is correct. If it finds that it is not, I want all the code to
stop. I tried this by using Exit Sub. This quits the Public sub but allows
the Private sub to continue. I need to stop the Private sub from running :o(
Can anyone offer any suggestions on how best to achieve this?
Many thanks,
Mark

One approach would be to have the "public" sub return a boolean value and
have an If ... Then clause in the "private" one to evaluate it along the
lines of:
Private Sub MyCode()
If SubPublic Then ' The public sub has returned "True"
Exit Sub
Else
Do other stuff
End If
End Sub
Pretty high level I know but I hope it helps.

Hi Keith,
It took a bit of research to figure out how to return a Boolean but once
I'd cracked that, the If clause worked perfectly. Many thanks for pointing
me in the right direction.

I say, does a sub return a boolean of some sort? My approach would have
been the same except to have made the "SubPublic" a public function
returning some value (in this case a boolean).

Hi,
Considering code below. Will it make GC to actually collect. One application
creates new instances of a class from 3rd party assembly in a loop (it has
to). That class doesn't have .Dispose or any similar method. I want to make
sure GC keeps up with the loop. My reasoning if Thread.Sleep(1000) is
called; GC will take priority it do its work, right?
GC.Collect();
GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers();
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000);

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
