Getting the value from another function (1 Viewer)

[gstylianou]

Hi, how can i get the value from another public function in the following example?

Public Function GetValuesFromForm() As Boolean
Dim X As String
Dim y As String

If 100+10=110 then
x=True
Else
x=False
End if

GetValuesFromForm=X

y=GetValuesFromForm()

End Function

I tried into another Public Function to get the result of the x like the following example and i'm getting the following error

If GetValuesFromForm = True Then
MsgBox "1"
End If

Sorry about my basic knowledge of vba..

Why not just say:- y = x?

Why not just say:- y = x?

You get caught up in your awkwardness.

Public Function fTest() As Boolean
   If 110 = 110 Then
      fTest = True
   Else
      fTest = False
   End If
End Function

Sub call_Test()
   If fTest = True Then MsgBox "hello"
End Sub

Dim X As String ... What is the purpose of the variable? In addition, the data type String does not correspond to the defined data type Boolean of the function return.
The function name should talk about what the function does.

If the function getvaluefroform is in a form's module it is not exposed outside the class without referring to an instance of the class. This is likely why you get that error. That error means it does not see the function with the name getvaluesfromform.
This error also happens with typos.
Y = getvalfromfrm
Will fail since no function with that name exists.

If a function is on a form's module you have to go through the instaniation of the form.
y = Forms!SomeFormName.GetValueFromForm()
For this example that design makes no sense, but this is common for other classes.
