    Re: Porting a function from vb.NET to VB6

    Unlike .Net, VB has a tendency to pass what is in parentheses as an evaluated expression, when not assigning a value to the return or in the case of subroutines. If it can't be evaluated -- syntax error. If no value will be returned, then one of the following is preferred

    a) Call SomeSub(lparam, wparam)
    b) SomeSub lparam, wparam

    Edited: same with a function. If you don't need nor care about the function's return value, then a function can be called the same as subroutine described above.
