Thanks Harald (and all who responded), I was missing
the "As ADODB.Recordset" outside the parentheses.

Function RunADOQuery(args) As ADODB.Recordset

Probably. Datatypes are datatypes. Try making something
like

Function RunADOQuery(whatever as whatever) As
ADODB.Recordset
Dim Cnn As New ADODB.Connection
'...

and

Sub Main_Sub()
Dim Rst As ADODB.Recordset
'...
Set Rst = RunADOQueryFunction(variables...)

Thanks Harald! My preferred structure would be more like
the following - is something like this possible?:

Sub Main_Sub()

...other code...

'Call query function and return recordset
rst = RunADOQueryFunction(strFullName, strSQL, strTable)

...do stuff with rst...

rst.close

end sub

Hi

If you set reference to ADO (Microsoft ActiveX Data
Objects) then you have a
datatype called ADODB.Recordset that I believe you can
pass like this:

Sub test()
Dim Cnn As New ADODB.Connection
Dim Rst As New ADODB.Recordset
'Open db, Get data, ...
Call Another(Rst)
Cnn.Close
Set Rst = Nothing
Set Cnn = Nothing
End Sub

Sub Another(Rst As ADODB.Recordset)
'do stuff
End Sub

Hello.

Is is possible to structure VBA code so that I can
call
a
function that runs a query, say in ADO, return the
data
to
a recordset and then return that recordset to the
calling
subroutine in another module?

If so, I need some example code that illustrates how
to
do
this. I have been unsuccessful so far. My call to the
function works and the query returns the data into
the
recordset, but I can't seem to pass the recordset
back
to
the calling subroutine. Apparently, you can't pass it
like
an array? ...Unless I not dimensioning my variables
correctly???

Your example code would be most helpful. Thanks in
advance.
