that's a better idea, i'll try it thanks.

You mean you want to have function named retailprice and a variable named
retailprice. Without testing, I suspect you will get an error in the place
where you use it as a variable if the function definition is within scope.
Sounds like a bad idea to me. Why not

fncRetailprice
varRetailprice

or something like that.

what happens if i want to use something called RetailPrice as an argument
in
another function.

"Tom Ogilvy" wrote:

Public Function RetailPrice(arg1)
Dim Cost as Double
end Function

Public function ProfitMargin(arg1)
Dim Cost as Double
End Function

the value of cost in either function is unrelated to the value of cost
in
the other function. The same for Arg1

I have written some functions in VBA to calculate profit margin, cost
and
suggested retail price. they are simple in that the RETAILPRICE
function
has
two arguments, COST and MARGIN. i am also using an argument named
COST in
the PROFITMARGIN function. how can i get VBA to recognize these as
seperate
variables? do i have to put them in separate modules? or is there a
certain
way i need to declare the variables? thank you.
