Calling Procedures
 

I have a title for a procedure which is the title I want
someone to see when they go to Tools-Macro and pick a
macro to run. This procedure calls a couple of procedures
written below it in the module. I don't want these
procedure names to be choices when someone goes to Tools-
Macro. Do I have to name these other procedures
something different so they are called by that one
procedure but are not choices to run on their own?

thank you.

Private sub foo()

Calling Procedures
 

One way is to declare the procedure as Private. E.g.,

Private Sub TheSubName()
' your code here
End Sub

The disadvantage of this is that the procedure can be called only
by procedures in the same module.

Another way is to make the procedure a Function instead of a Sub
procedure.
