IsEmpty Function

Returns a Boolean value indicating whether a variable has been initialized.

Syntax

IsEmpty(expression)

The required expression argument is a Variant containing a numeric or string expression. However, because IsEmpty is used to determine if individual variables are initialized, the expression argument is most often a single variable name.

Remarks

IsEmpty returns True if the variable is uninitialized, or is explicitly set to Empty; otherwise, it returns False.False is always returned if expression contains more than one variable. IsEmpty only returns meaningful information for variants.

Example

This example uses the IsEmpty function to determine whether a variable has been initialized.

Dim MyVar, MyCheck MyCheck = IsEmpty(MyVar) ' Returns True. MyVar = Null ' Assign Null. MyCheck = IsEmpty(MyVar) ' Returns False. MyVar = Empty ' Assign Empty. MyCheck = IsEmpty(MyVar) ' Returns True.
