Re: Call to subroutine fails to execute - no error or warning

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

FWIW, one could use the Call statement in relation to a Subroutine as
indicated in the VB help files. Why one would do this I have no idea
(expect perhaps if one was obsessed with keeping arguments in parenthesis)
but it is possible.

I did find it interesting however, and I did not know this, that ByVal and
ByRef when used in conjunction with the Call statement can be used only when
calling a DLL procedure. From the VB6 help file:

argumentlist
Optional. Comma-delimited list of variables, arrays, or expressions to pass
to the procedure. Components of argumentlist may include the keywords ByVal
or ByRef to describe how the arguments are treated by the called procedure.
However, ByVal and ByRef can be used with Call only when calling a DLL
procedure.

| Whew! I thought that was something really obscure about VB I didn't know!
