Interesting. That definitely worked. Sorry for the confusion. I was going
by the Scripting Guys example here which is why I had the ().

you have: objShell.PopUp("something in here")

Please elaborate...you are saying that the equation I am using to convert
the
AD password age to a readable format (nanoseconds to seconds to days) is
actually a subroutine even though I haven't defined it as a subroutine?

but you are.
remove the parenthesis or set a variable to contain the return value

Before anyone replies let state first I have tried wshShell.PopUp and
it
won't work because I am displaying some output that it thinks is
calling a
subroutine.

So what I am doing is writing a login script for our company and part
of
that is displaying mapped drives as well as when the password expires.
Well
near as I can tell when I use the PopUp method it thinks the equations
I
have
in the script to determine password age is a subroutine and returns an
error
"Cannot use parantheses when calling a Sub" and the error Code:
800A0414.

I am not calling a subroutine but it seems to think so.

Here is the code:
objShell.PopUp ("*** MyCompany Windows Login Process***" & VbCrLf &_
"Good day " & objUser.FullName & VbCrLf &_
"Your password will expire on: " & VbCrLf &_
DateValue(dtValue + dblMaxPwdDays) & " (" & _
Int((dtValue + dblMaxPwdDays) - Now) & " days from today)." & VbCrLf &_
VbCrLf &_
"Current Drive Mappings: " & VbCrLf &_
strMsg & VbCrLf &_
VbCrLf &_
"If you are having login problems please " & VbCrLf &_
"contact the IT Help Desk at 555.555.5555", 0, "MyCompany Login
Script")

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
