    Thread Title: "Invalid Use of Property"

    I'm having difficulty with a very small routine and am listing code below:
    Code:
      
      Dim OBplus As Double
      Dim sOBplus As String
      Dim OBNonPlus As Double
      Dim sOBNonPlus As String
      
      ' Accumulates to Variables OBPlus & OBNeg
      rsGlact.MoveFirst
      Do While rsGlact.EOF = False
        gAcno = rsGlact.Fields("Acno")
        If rsGlact.Fields("Rptype") = "P" Then
          If rsGlact.Fields("Oldbal") > 0 Then
            OBplus = (OBplus + rsGlact.Fields("Oldbal"))
          Else
            OBNeg = (OBNeg + rsGlact.Fields("Oldbal"))
          End If
        End If
        rsGlact.MoveNext
      Loop
      
      ' Determines Difference and stores Round()
      txtOBPlus = OBplus
      txtOBNeg = OBNeg
      txtDiffOld = (OBplus + OBNeg)
      txtDiffOld = Round(txtDiffOld, 2)
      
      Dim OBplus As Double
      Dim sOBplus As String
      Dim OBNeg As Double
      Dim sOBNeg As String
      
      rsGlact.MoveFirst
      Do While rsGlact.EOF = False
        gAcno = rsGlact.Fields("Acno")
        If rsGlact.Fields("Rptype") = "P" Then
          If rsGlact.Fields("Oldbal") > 0 Then
            OBplus = (OBplus + rsGlact.Fields("Oldbal"))
          Else
            OBNonPlus = (OBNonPlus + rsGlact.Fields("Oldbal"))
          End If
        End If
        rsGlact.MoveNext
      Loop
      
      ' Determines Difference and stores Round()
      txtOBPlus = OBplus
      txtOBNonPlus = OBNonPlus
      txtDiffOld = (OBplus + OBNonPlus)
      txtDiffOld = Round(txtDiffOld, 2)
        
      sOBplus = OBplus
      sOBNeg = OBNeg
     
      txtOBPlus = sOBplus
      txtOBNeg = sOBNeg
      
    It's at this point that my problem occurs. When attempting to enter to frmUtility, I receive the following error: "Invald use of Property"

    I will greatly appreciate help.

    This is a correction of an earlier Post:

    I'm having difficulty with a small routine, the code for which I'm listing below:
    Code:
     
      Dim OBplus As Double
      Dim sOBplus As String
      Dim OBNonPlus As Double
      Dim sOBNonPlus As String
      
      rsGlact.MoveFirst
      Do While rsGlact.EOF = False
        gAcno = rsGlact.Fields("Acno")
        If rsGlact.Fields("Rptype") = "P" Then
          If rsGlact.Fields("Oldbal") > 0 Then
            OBplus = (OBplus + rsGlact.Fields("Oldbal"))
          Else
            OBNonPlus = (OBNonPlus + rsGlact.Fields("Oldbal"))
          End If
        End If
        rsGlact.MoveNext
      Loop
      
      ' Determines Difference and stores Round()
      txtOBPlus = OBplus
      txtOBNonPlus = OBNonPlus
      txtDiffOld = (OBplus + OBNonPlus)
      txtDiffOld = Round(txtDiffOld, 2)
      
      
      sOBplus = OBplus
      sOBNeg = OBNeg
     
      txtOBPlus = sOBplus
      txtOBNonPlus = sOBNeg
    
    Its at this point that the error ("Invalid use of Preperty") occurs. I have written numerous similar routines with no problem.

    I will greatly appreciate help in solving this problem.

    I have merged your threads. For correction, you don't need a second thread.

    You have undeclared variables that your trying to assign values to. Check the last chunk of code so see where you dimensioned those variables.

    Code:
    sOBNeg = OBNeg
    
    txtOBPlus = sOBplus
    txtOBNonPlus = sOBNeg
    Your trying to use the MoveFirst property when I don't see where you gave reGlact an instance of a class. Do you use visual studio or visual basic express?

    To Those Respondants:

    I have used excerpts from multiple responses and my routine is now working just fine. Thanks very
    much for your time and trouble.
