   [RESOLVED] VB 6 - Duplicate Declaration in Current Scope

   I am attempting to dynamically dim a variable (i.e. create instance based on user selection).

   For example, based on the users selection from a combo box containing report names ("Report A", "Report B", "Report C", etc.), I would like to Dim a report variable (MyReport).

   Code:

   Select Case cboReportName.Text Case "Report A" Dim MyReport As New rptReportA Case "Report B" Dim MyReport As New rptReportB Case "Report C" Dim MyReport As New rptReportCEnd Select

   As expected, the code fails due to duplicate declaration in current scope.

   Suggestions appreciated.

   Re: Duplicate Declaration in Current Scope

   Do all of the report objects inherit from a base class or do they implement an interface? If so, you could do something like this:

   Code:

   Dim myReport as Report Select Case cboReportName.Text Case "Report A" MyReport = New rptReportA Case "Report B" MyReport = New rptReportB Case "Report C" MyReport = New rptReportCEnd Select

   The topic mentions VB6, of which inheritance doesn't exist. I suggest moving this to VB6.

   I would help, but I've lost my VB6 knowledge.

   Thanks so much. With one minor alteration, your code worked perfectly:

   Code:

   Dim myReport as Report Select Case cboReportName.Text Case "Report A" Set MyReport = New rptReportA Case "Report B" Set MyReport = New rptReportB Case "Report C" Set MyReport = New rptReportCEnd Select
