[*]Try to use a descriptive title for your topic. It is much better to say 'Help required passing a variable ByRef' than the much less descriptive 'Help needed, I'm stuck'.
[*]Provide as much information about your problem as possible. Useful things to include are your operating system, any error messages you may be getting, what you are trying to do and what is going wrong. It can also be helpful to include screenshots and code.[/list=1]
