Argument List Of ActiveChart.Location And ActiveChart.ChartType
This is just a matter of personal style and idle curiousity. Why is
it that some functions need a parameter list like "Whe=" inside the brackets and others you just specify the parameter like "xlColumnClustered". I guess my question is what is the purpose of the ":=" and is there a workaround so the parmeter list looks like Function(arg1, arg2,...) instead of Function(Whe=arg1, Location:=arg2,...) Any help would be appreciated...Mo. |

Argument List Of ActiveChart.Location And ActiveChart.ChartType
Hi Mo:
If you are using named arguments (the ones using :=), you only need to list the ones that you want to specify, in any order whatever. If you are not using named arguments, you need to provide all the arguments to the function. This is generally correct although there are a few little quirks. This post by Chip Pearson should clear it up for you. http://google.com/groups?selm=e133J%...gp13.phx. gbl "Mo" wrote in message om... This is just a matter of personal style and idle curiousity.

Argument List Of ActiveChart.Location And ActiveChart.ChartType
You can use named argument or you can provide the arguments in an ordered,
comma separated list. As far as I know, there is no function that requires one or the other - the each will accept either. by using a named list, you don't have to remember the order and you don't have to supply optional arguments (or mark their position). -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy Mo wrote in message om...
