[VB] check if object exists?

[spike232]

i have an object that may or may not be created during the execution of my program, but i want to unload it at exit if its been created.

how do i check if it exists?

if i attempt to use it at all i get errors cause it aitn been created, i cant even compare it :huh:

any ideas?

use IsNothing to test if an object is instantiated.

Dim obj As Object

If(IsNothing(obj)) Then  ' returns true
    obj = "Now I'm alive!!"

Sorry i meant in VB 6

If myObj Is Nothing, or use IsNull. It has been a while since I've used VB 6, so I may be wrong with the IsNull.
