In a script library (“MyLibrary”) I’ve created a custom class (“MyClass”). I’m trying to use the library within a form. In the forms Options section i’ve added:
Use “MyLibrary”
On a button Click, I have:
Dim mc As MyClass
I get the error “Class or type name not found: MYCLASS”.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance

Jared,
In the script Library name do you have the quotes and brackets??
So is the library name really (“MyLibrary”) or is it MyLibrary?
Same question for the class?

No quotes or brackets, just letters.
Script Library: MyLibrary
User Defined Class: MyClass

Closed Notes and Notes Designer, everything is working perfectly. No errors. No problems. So my code was fine the whole time.
So I hate lotus notes. Its the worst development platform ever!
I just wasted an hour or more of my time - Thank you IBM.

Sometimes when you implment (use) your own custom data types you need to recompile your LS code. Do that by choosing Tools > Recompile All LotusScript. The other way to accomplish that is close and open the environment so it will reload the new data type, as you did. This is no different than any other OO language when you add a new data type.
