I apologize for the naive question but I cannot seem to find documentation
(even on McRitchie's) on how to create a User Defined Function with a return
value. Pls complete the following code...

Public Sub aaaaa

if itemcheck()=true then
msgbox("ok")
else
msgbox("not ok")
endif

Public function itemcheck

if blahblah=soso then
return_value=true
else
return_value=false
endif

end function

What do I have to add to the function so that it defines the return_value
and returns it to the calling subroutine;

Thanks for your patience

Public function itemcheck

if blahblah=soso then
itemcheck=true
else
itemcheck=false
endif

end function

Regards,
Stefi

One of the not so nice things in VB (IMO). The function name is the return
value, so in your case you must add

itemcheck=return_value

or code it to set that inline.
