Hey all,
I would like to return a string from a function in vb. Although this is
incredibly simple in c/c++, I can't find the syntax for it in vb.

Can anyone help me out? Thanks!

Hi Clarke

Something like this

Function Foo(inputstring as string) As String
'your code goes here
Foo = "value to be returned"
End Function

function test(input1 as long, input2 as string) as string

'do your calculation here like:
test=left(input2,input1)

end function
