W.r.t. VB to RB conversion, some legacy code has turned up a puzzle.
The puzzle is: How should the bang operator (!) be translated to RB?
Looking at undocumented code in a database context, it looks as if
!x is equivalent to ("x") and ![x y] is equivalent to ("x y"), but one
also finds code such as
With XXX
!NameID = txtFields(2).text
. . .
End with
and code such as
frmTemp!cmdOK.Top = . . .
frmTemp!linD(2).X = . . .
where it appears that the symbol ! can be replaced by the period.
MS VB5 manuals are strangely silent (as if the bang operator does
not exist), yet the VB5 compiler accepts the ! notation and produces
usable code. The VB5 Help facility is also silent on the subject,
although it accepts the ! as an query input.
So, is there advice as to conversion of this phantom?
