New Operator

The New operator allocates and initializes a new COM object of the named class.

Syntax

Set objectVar = New className
Dim objectVar As New className

Returns

Not applicable

Usage

In the Dim statement, New marks objectVar so that a new object is allocated and initialized when objectVar is first used. If objectVar is not referenced, then no new object is allocated.

NOTE:  An object variable that was declared with New allocates a second object if objectVar is Set to Nothing and referenced again.
