User Defined Functions
 

I occasionally mke user-defined functions in VBA. I am trying to write a
function using the LOG10() function and the FIXED() function and I get an
error for both of these functions - - unlike when I use other canned
functions. Are there limitations to the functions I can use in a
user-defined function? LOG() works, so I can work around the LOG10()
function.

If you're trying to use the LOG10() function inside of a VBA module, well,
there ain't no such animal.

Static Function Log10(X)
Log10 = Log(X) / Log(10#)
End Function

There's some workaround code that will give you LOG10() using Log() (which
is available in VBA).
Similarly, there is no FIXED() in VBA - that's also a worksheet only
function. Closest thing in VBA is probably FIX(n) where n is a number, and
FIX(n) returns the integer portion of n.

LOG10 and FIXED are not VBA functions. Use Application.Worksheetfunction.LOG10 if you have to.

...using the LOG10() function and the FIXED() function and I get an
error for both of these functions

Sub Demo()
Debug.Print WorksheetFunction.Log10(100)
Debug.Print WorksheetFunction.Fixed(1 / 7, 2)
' or...
With WorksheetFunction
Debug.Print .Log10(100)
Debug.Print .Fixed(1 / 7, 2)
End With
End Sub

please see Neik's answer. You need write the full path reference when you use
worksheetfunction. Obviously, You lost key word "Application." before
"WorksheetFunction.Log10(100)"
