I am calling a specific piece of code several times therefore I would like to use optional parameters. I can write something like:
Public Sub main()
strA = "A"
'Calling the function
CalculateMe (strA)
End Sub
Public Sub CalculateMe(strA As String)
Set rs = DB.OpenRecordset("tbl_A")
rs.MoveFirst
Do Until rs.EOF
If rs.Fields(0) = strA Then
dblA = rs.fields(2).Value
End If
rs.MoveNext
Loop
End Sub
How can I change the function to hold more than 1 optional parameters?
Something like:
Public Sub main()
strA = "A"
strB = "B"
'Calling the function
CalculateMe (strA, strB)
more code
End Sub
Public Sub CalculateMe(Optional strA As String, Optional strB as String)
Set rs = DB.OpenRecordset("tbl_A")
rs.MoveFirst
Do Until rs.EOF
If rs.Fields(0).Value = strA And rs.Fields(1).Value = strB Then
dblA = rs.Fields(2).Value
End If
rs.MoveNext
Loop
End Sub
Following Pankaj Jaju's advice, I have managed to have it run by changing it to:
Public Sub main()
strA = "A"
strB = "B"
'Calling the function
dblA = CalculateMe (strA, strB)
End Sub
Public Function CalculateMe(Optional ByVal strA As String, Optional ByVal strB as String)
Set rs = DB.OpenRecordset("tbl_A")
rs.MoveFirst
Do Until rs.EOF
If rs.Fields(0).Value = strA And rs.Fields(1).Value = strB Then
dblA = rs.Fields(2).Value
End If
rs.MoveNext
Loop
End Sub
Now, how can I clear the value of an optional parameter? I will need this for some of the calculations. Something like:
Set strA = Nothing
Change your sub and add ByVal
Public Sub CalculateMe(Optional ByVal strA As String, Optional ByVal strB As String)
