I having been learning VBA for 10min now.
What I cannot find info on is ':='. What is it?
As in a excel script
workbook.open filename := "path\file"
Thanks

John,

The ":=" syntax is for named arguments, that is, when you supply
both the name and value of a argument or parameter to another
function.

Thanks Chip.
I am limited on documentation and search engines don't seem to like ":=".
