hi all!

i have a sub defined in a module:
public sub myFunc(a as string, b as string, optional c as integer, optional
d as label)
.....
end sub

calling this from a userform:

call myFunc(a,b,c,d)

where
a and b are TextBox (defined in the UserForm)
c is an integer defined private c as integer
d is a Label (defined in the userform)

all variables have a value

i am getting a type mismatch error on this call
call myFunc(a,b,c,d)
..... why?
(i have also tried a.value, a.text, cstr(a) and that hasn't worked. i've
also tried cint(c)

try

public sub myFunc(a as string, b as string, _
optional c as integer, optional d as Object)

If that doesn't work... (Probably will. Tom is usually right...) try

public sub myFunc(a as variant, b as variant, optional c as variant, optional
d as variant)

And then place a watch on a, b, c, and d just to see what you really have
passed. It can be easy to pass the wrong thing.

thanks guys - the 'object' worked

i guess my question now is why it wouldn't work with Label?

Read the help on Function under the description of Optional, then below that
look at the as type narrative.
