Hi all, Trying to write these Basic macros is extremely frustrating. I'm sure I'm missing some basic documentation somewhere but I can't find it for the life of me. I have written the follow macro: Function SimpSet(ProcessString) As String Dim Position As Integer Position = InStr(ProcessString, ".") SimpSet = mid(ProcessString, Position) end In cell A1 I have abc.def In cell B1 I have =SimpSet(A1) My objective is to wind up with abc in cell B1. When I run the macro I get "BASIC runtime error. Argument is not optional. I can find no reference to this extremely informative error message and I have no idea how to debug the code. Is there anyone out there who can: 1. Tell me what the error is and where exactly I can find out that kind of information so I can do it myself in the future?
