Solved: Help with getting a retun value from a method

[jtrowbridge]

I'm loading a library that enables me to send emails through the macros that I'm running. I use this email function mainly for error trapping.

I know that the Application.RegisterXLL method will retun a True if the library was loaded properly and a False if the library was not loaded. I need to know how to get the Application.RegisterXLL method to return this value so I can store it in a variable.

Here's the line I'm using to load the library:

Application.RegisterXLL Filename:="C:\WINDOWS\system32\cdosys.dll"

Any help would be awesome!

Couldn't you just use something like this?
[vba]
IsCDO = Application.RegisterXLL(Filename:="C:\WINDOWS\system32\cdosys.dll")
If IsCDO Then
MsgBox "CDO Installed"
Else
MsgBox "CDO Not Installed"
End If

[/vba]

I tried that already and for some reason the variable (in your example IsCDO) always has a value of 0.

I've checked the references and this library is definately getting installed after Application.RegisterXLL is executed. So I know this is working.

Isnt there a property that will have the return function assigned to it? If anyone knows or knows of a resource (like a object/property map or dictionary) I would be grateful.

This is straight from the Help files.

Did you declared IsCDO as boolean ?
