Error Examples

Compile Error - ByRef argument type mismatch

An argument passed ByRef must have the precise data type.
If the data types are different you will see a "ByRef argument type mismatch" error message.
In this example we are passing an Integer variable when a Long is expected.

Sub CallByRef() 
   Dim number As Integer 
   number = 50 
   Call MySub(number) 
End Sub 
Sub MySub(ByRef amount As Long) 
End Sub 

Run-Time Error - Invalid procedure

This works for positive values of X but fails for negative values.

Sub NegativeX() 
Dim x As Double 
x = -10 
If (x < 0) And (VBA.Sqr(x) < 10) Then 
   'do something
End If 
End Sub 

You should use logical assignments as opposed to IF statements will also help performance (ie y = (x = 5)).
