    Not require return values

    If I have a function that returns a value I don't care about, how can I make VB6 not complain about not catching that answer? I have done it before, so I know it is possible, but I forget how. Right now when I click off the line, it turns red and an error comes up "Compiler Error: Expected ="

    Re: Not require return values

    How about making it a procedure rather than a function?

    Does it still give you the error if you use the

    Call SomeFunction

    syntax..?

    You could also:

    Bogus = function(...) and just ignore Bogus

    Re: Not require return values

    I'm assuming you probably included the () when calling it. Remove those, and simply call it like a normal sub. It'll be fine.
