Random Access Files and Variables
To whom it may concern -
I am working on a calendar project currently and I am having problems when attempting to reference a random access file via a variable that contains the day of the month. I have Option Strict On (possible to turn off, but only as a last resort). My logic is as follows, please tell me where Im flawed!
On form load: Open all RAF in this manner -
FileOpen(1, "januaruary.dat", .....)
FileOpen(2, "february.dat"......) et. al
Check if a record exists for that date -
If System.IO.File.Exists(datDayofMonth.Day) = True Then
FileGet(datMonthofYear.Month, udtMemo.strMemo, datDayofMonth.Day)
*in this scenerio, Im having problems with checking if the file exists due to option strict not allowing the integer value stored in the variable datDayofMonth not being a string value needed for the Exists statement. Is there another way to accomplish this?
Also, is my logic sound in the FileGet (and conversely in FilePut)? Please help!
