I'm using MP2004 and VB5
In code I have created a pushpin, and later want to delete it using

If PinIsSet(Index) Then objCPushPin(Index).Delete
Ths sometimes causes error 4014.
I have been unable to find any documentation on this error, can anyone advise?

Hi,

I cannot find the error eather, but probably you try to delete a pushpin that is not assigned ? To be sure it is assigned always do if you delete a pushpin and you have it in an array or whatever assign null to it (I think Nothing in VB). Or find the pushpin by name (if you give a name to it at creation time).

Code:

            PushPin PP = MP.ActiveMap.FindPushpin("TheName");
            if (PP != null)
                PP.Delete();

or if it comes out an array:

Code:

            if (aPP[4] != null) {
                aPP[4].Delete();
                aPP[4] = null;
            }

I would upgrade to VB6 - you never know there might be a problem in VB5's handling of COM objects?

thanks for the suggestins, I do keep track of pins that have been created using an array PinIsSet so...
if PinIsSet(index) then ....

I dont want to go to vb6 if I can avoid it, I'm writing commercial software in licenced 5Pro, 6.0 is no longer availabe, and so far I have not seen any need to go to .net.... perhaps this is turning into that need, but I'd like to be certain before spending loads on new VB!
