calling an object that doesn't exist

if I call an object that doesn't exist,I'll get an error,how do you check that there is an object bwefore calling on it?

thanks,

Check if its null?

how?
if trock.create()<>null?

You don't "call an object". You call a method on a given object. Which fails if the object is null.

No, like this

if myobject<>null then...

In your case,

If trock<>Null Then...

Thanks all,
I am getting the hang of it,with everyones help.
