Help please with error:10094 ActiveXAutomation: Object var is 'Nothing

[ubacher]

I am trying to convert a script from IM3 to IM5.
In IM5 I get the error
10094 ActiveXAutomation: Object var is 'Nothing'

I show the parts of the code which should be of interest here:
The line producing the error is marked.

 

Code: [Select]

Dim catPoP As Category
Dim cur_img As File.
............

Set catPoP = db.Categories("TYPE of FOTO.PartofPano")
...........

For Each cur_img In imgs
 
    AddCat (catPoP,cur_img)

Next
........
Function AddCat (cat As Category, img As File)

If Not cat.HasFile(img) Then    '<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< This line produces the error
cat.AssignFile img
End If
End Function


Any help is appreciated.

The error means that cat does not reference a valid object. In your case the category could not be found (in the Set catPoP line).
If I remember correctly, in IMatch 5 you have to use the pipe symbol | instead of the dot notation to specify the full category path.
Try to use

Code: [Select]

Set catPoP = db.Categories("TYPE of FOTO|PartofPano")

Thanks, That was it.
( Last night in bed - as I was about to fall asleep - I thought that it has probably something to do with the category not existing or not properly specified)
