Hi Bill!
The basic difference between a function and a sub is the function returns data. In your example it will return a string. You want to use functions when you plan to use the data without storing it in the underlying data for example you can use a function as a field in a query to manipulate the data. A sub on the other hand returns no data and is often used to edit records or add records in the data.

Subject: [MSAccessProfessionals] Going through Book.
Can someone help me to understand this.
I am going through the book Access 2010 VBA programming Inside Out and I come across to ways to do the same thing (I believe).
I am trying to understand the difference between FUNCTIONS and SUB ROUTINES and whey the first statement is different (and when to use each).
Here is the Sub example.
Sub modIF_IF_Simple(Rating As Long)
Here is the Function Example
Function modIF_IF1(Rating As Long) As String
What is the difference and why is the "As String" needed at the in the function and not the sub.
Thanks,
