Reliably Access Sheet Set Components

You can use the Do While structure in VBA for reliable access to sheet set components. The Microsoft Help for VBA contains examples of the Do While structure. The Microsoft Help for VBA is available from the Help menu in the VBA IDE.

To use the Do While structure to access sheet set components, you use a statement similar to Do While Not obj Is Nothing to determine if an object is available. For example, to use a Do While Not obj Is Nothing statement to iterate through objects in a collection, you could use the following code:

Public Function FindAllComponents(comps As Collection) As Boolean
    On Local Error GoTo etrap
    If comps Is Nothing Then Set comps = New Collection
    Dim iter As IAcSmEnumPersist
    Set iter = m_db.GetEnumerator
    Dim obj As IAcSmPersist
    Set obj = iter.Next
    Do While Not obj Is Nothing
        If TypeOf obj Is IAcSmComponent Then
            Dim comp As IAcSmComponent
            Set comp = obj
            comps.Add comp
        End If
        Set obj = iter.Next
    Loop
    FindAllComponents = True
    Exit Function
etrap:
    MsgBox CStr(Err.Number) & " - " & Err.Description
End Function
