Hi,
I've created a simple funcion to calculate the volume based on three inputs,
height, width and depth. I've make the variables bytes. When the result of
the volume is over 255 I get an overflow error. See the function below:
Function volume(height As Byte, width As Byte, depth As Byte)
volume = height * width * depth
End Function
--------------------------
Sub test()
Debug.Print volume(12, 22, 1)
End Sub
Can anyone help with why I'm getting the error. Thanks in advance
Regards
Janet

You should specifiy the datatype of the return value, and maybe also dim
your parameters as integer.
The error is because your multiplication is producing a value too large for
the variable's size.
