[AccessD] Need help with return in a function

[Jim Dettman]

 Just to add in one comment, "Return" is a valid VBA statement, but in VBA
it's used in conjunction with a Gosub within a procedure.

 Return <value> 

 in more modern languages does return a value from a procedure.  So VBA is a
little confusing in this regard (it's a throwback to the original Dartmouth
Basic).

Jim.

Subject: [AccessD] Need help with return in a function

Came across a bit of code in a database and I don't understand what one line
is supposed to do or how it is intended to work. I get a syntax error of
"Expected end of statement"  The line in question is return Len(Dir$(aFile))
>0. Thanks for the assistance.

Here is the whole function

Function Delete_File(aFile)
    Dim B As String
    On Error Resume
    Kill aFile
    On Error GoTo 0
    return Len(Dir$(aFile)) > 0         ' Make sure it actually got deleted.
End Function
