hello!
I have a sub with heading:
Public Sub ProcessDay(ByVal normal As Boolean, ByVal holiday As Boolean, ByVal sick As Boolean, ByVal lunch As Boolean, ByVal starthours As Double, ByVal finishhours As Double, ByVal startmins As Double, ByVal finishmins As Double, ByVal day As String)

Inside the sub i have two variables declared:

Dim hours As Double
Dim minutes As Double

I want to call another sub within this sub, but i want to pass in the two variable, change them and pass them out again.
This is where the problem is, i pass the variables in and assign values to them but the values don't get passed back to the variables in the outer sub.
Do you know how to do this?
Should i make the variables global or something?

I'm still using VB6, but since you're passing variables ByVal this should be applicable. Change the parameters of the second sub so that you're passing the variables ByRef. This gives the sub the actual variables instead of just the values of the variables.

For anybody who's going "what?", when I give you my car ByVal I'm giving you a picture of my car; you can edit the picture and it won't change my actual car. When I give you my car ByRef I'm giving you my actual car.
