ByRef is the default, so all 3 arguments (var, station & offset) are passed
by reference.

The only qualifier actually required is ByVal to switch off passing by
reference.

Here is an example

Function GE()
Dim a As Long
Dim station As Long, offset As Long

station = 1
offset = 2
a = 3
Call ff(a, station, offset)

MsgBox station & ", " & offset
GE = elevation(station, offset)
MsgBox GE

End Function

Function ff(var As Long, ByRef station As Long, ByRef offset As Long)

station = var + 1
offset = var ^ 2 + 1

End Function

Function elevation(station As Long, offset As Long)

elevation = station + offset

End Function

Is it possible for a function to return two values to be
used in another function?

Suppose I need a function "ff" to calculate two variables
called "station" and "offset". Is it possible to return
both these variables to be used in another function
called "elevation(station, offset)"?

A very rough algorithm follows -

Function GE()
'This is the main function
Dim a as long

Call ff(a)
GE = elevation(station, offset)

End Function

Function ff( var as long)
'Returns station and offset to the main function

station = a +1
offset = a^2+1

'How do I return both station and offset?
??
End Function

Function elevation (station as long, offset as long)

elevation = station + offset (for simplicity)

End Function

THANKS IN ADVANCE.
