[AccessD] Function vs Sub (was: Classes and Events - EVENTS NOT REQUIRED)

Now we are getting philosophical :-)

"If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?" 

Answer??
"Sound is vibration, transmitted to our senses through the mechanism of the ear, and 
recognized as sound only at our nerve centers. The falling of the tree or any other 
disturbance will produce vibration of the air. If there be no ears to hear, there will be no 
sound."  

x= myFunction() demonstrably returns an Empty Variant

does "Call myFunction()"  *return* anything? If so, where to?

Cheers,
Stuart (aka Bishop Berkely)
