Josh DeWinte #1 / 4	Function question from a beginner...please help! Hi. My name's Josh. I have a simple question involving functions that I was hoping someone could help me answer. I have some code that goes like this: ---START OF CODE--- For t = 1 to 8 step 2 text2(t).text = Form1.text(t).text ('and some other lines just like the one above) Next t ---END OF CODE--- I was thinking...rather than make this a for/next loop, could I put it into a function, and just pass the function the number I wanted t to equal? (This would help me later on in the program, where I have to do this same code block again. Currently I am using another for/next loop to do it again, which seems to be a waste of code). My custom-made function went like this: ---START FUNCTION--- Function Josh (t) text2(t).text = Form1.text(t).text End Function ---END FUNCTION ...but it didn't work. Could someone help me out with the proper way to declare and format a function? I have looked at the MSDN disk, tried to do it like it was presented there, but am still baffled. Thanks for your help!! Josh DeWinter Spokane, WA

Bonehea #2 / 4	Function question from a beginner...please help! Josh, If you want the function to be available to other forms in the project, declare it public : Public Function Josh(t as integer). ....(your code) End Function If you only want it to be available to the form it's declared in, declare it private : Private Function Josh(t as integer). ....(your code) End Function Declare parameter t as an integer because if you don't it will be assumed a variant, (code will work but it is common practice, check out the par about 'Option Explicit') If you're always using the same for/next loop, why not put it in the function as well ? Public Function Josh(T as integer) ' T is the upper value of the for/next loop Dim I as integer For I = 1 to T step 2 text2(I).text = Form1.text(I).text Next I End Function Yours truly, Bonehead

Pulat Yunuso #3 / 4	Function question from a beginner...please help! Functions are supposed to take an argument or arguments and manipulate them to return a value. What you are trying to do looks more like a job for a sub. Don't functions usually end with nameOfTheFunction = expressionWhichReturnsValueOfTheFunction ? I recommend a sub. Pulat Quote: > Hi.

The Profound Sigg #4 / 4	Function question from a beginner...please help! You need the loop to access all the objects in your array. Using a function makes your code more readable, but slows down (this slowdown is totally unnoticable) the execution of the app. I would put it in a function. Quote: > Hi. My name's Josh.
