VBA red text - 9.2 to 9.3.1

[LornaMurison]

Hi everyone,
I used a piece of code when I was using ArcGIS 9.2 to split lines into segments of no less than a given length.

I am now using 9.3.1 and there is one line in the code that is giving me trouble. This line:
For lInFld = 0 To pInRow.Fields.FieldCount â?? 1
from the code below shows up in red, and when I run the code it causes a syntax error.

Any help would be appreciated

Does this happen during the first time around the loop?
and also, is the fieldcount = 0 off the bat?

[LornaMurison]

Thanks for the reply,
It does happen during the first loop, and I don't know how to check what the field count is right off the bat.

Sub CopyFields(pInRow As IRow, pOutRow As IRow)

Dim lInFld As Long
Msgbox (pInRow.Fields.FieldCount) <--- INSERT THIS LINE
For lInFld = 0 To pInRow.Fields.FieldCount �?? 1  <--- This line causes trouble!
    Dim lOutFld As Long
    lOutFld = pOutRow.Fields.FindField(pInRow.Fields.Field(lInFld).Name)
    If lOutFld > -1 Then
        If pInRow.Fields.Field(lInFld).Editable Then
            If pInRow.Fields.Field(lInFld).Type <> esriFieldTypeGeometry Then
                pOutRow.Value(lOutFld) = pInRow.Value(lInFld)
            End If
        End If
    End If
Next lInFld

End Sub

Sorry,
I did try that and the code seems to crash at "Sub CopyFields(pInRow As IRow, pOutRow As IRow)" which gets highlighted in yellow.
But "For lInFld = 0 To pInRow.Fields.FieldCount �?? 1" gets highlighted in blue.
Even before I run the code that line shows up in red, but doesn't appear to have an error message associated with it.
... hope that makes sense.

Could this be caused by using a really large feature class?

Thanks

It is giving me an "expected end of statement" error.

It is giving me an "expected end of statement" error.

ah yes.. delete that line and retype it as such..don't copy paste..retype it:

For lInFld = 0 To (pInRow.Fields.FieldCount - 1)

Make sure you get rid of  "<---" comments.

[LornaMurison]

Thank-you so much, it works now.
Is this something that changed from 9.2 to 9.3?

[RuchiraWelikala]

Nah, it's just buggy.  You can take out the brackets and it would still probably work.
Cheers,
