$$Excel-Macros$$ function call return parameter always zero

2012-04-15 Thread tangledweb
I assume this has to do with the assignment being to a variable that is 
passed into the function, but if so is there something more
elegant than using a temporary copy for the maxrow value passed in or 
making it global? The function needs to know the value
of maxrow on entry and needs to increment it within the function.  The 
calling procedure needs to know the new value.
 
maxrow in the assignment below always returns zero though its value in the 
function just before the exit is 2 as it should be.
All 3 of the input parameters are defined in the calling procedure.  
 
maxrow = FillResults(entryval, maxrow, count)

Never mind.  Too late to be trying to debug code.  Left out the actual
assignment FillResults = x  about
which VBA is apparently quite picky.
