I am getting the following type mismatch error on the following
IF obj.propery THEN
...
END IF
the code I am using is on visual source safe and when other developers run the same project the code runs with no error. The property is actually a string which is where the problem could be. When I debug and test the property i.e.
?obj.propery = True
no errors are thrown which is a bit strange. If I place the cursor over the property it says "True". I have done a bit of searching on the matter and have found that this may have something to do with OPTION STRICT, however I have the same version of the code as the other developers and OPTION STRICT is not OFF, it hasn't been altered in the code at all. Are there any other settings that could affect this execution of code at run time?

It strikes me that there could be an entirely different reason for your Type Mismatch error, especially as you are accessing an object property. I've experienced this error when I have, for some reason, been pointing at a different DLL to that registered. You will find with VB that it registers a DLL "on the fly" when you build it, so you may end up accessing the code somewhere that you did not expect. This may not be the problem in your case, but it is worth exploring.
