method parameter



I am trying to use an activex method that takes a parameter described
as (text as string @) . I know that an @ in front of a parameter
makes a variable passed by reference to a function. The compiler
gives the same error with the @ in front or without. Placing the @
after the variable name doesn't work either. What is the above syntax
telling me?
