I've always used Call. Seems more self-documenting to me.

In the VBA environment I find Call more similar to function calls, and
I like it for that reason.

I call dialect posting by a genuine Mellon sockpuppet racist.

I call this signature an impersonation. To see a list of actual MVPs, see

Re: VB "Call&quot ; syntax vs command-style syntax

If you are, indeed, Yu Hong Wang, MVP, continue this communication in the
private MVP newsgroup for Access. If I do not see you posting there, it will
confirm that you are a Don P Mellon sockpuppet or tagalong troll
impersonating Yu Hong Wang.

If I do see your message there (and the other MVPs who participate here will
see it, too) I will offer my apology.

However, given that MVPs who participate here actually answer questions,
instead of posting inane, off-topic messages, until then, G'day, Donnie.

We are waiting for your post in the private mvp newsgroup for Access,
"Sherwood". The real Yu Hong Wang has access to that newsgroup.

You are not the MVP Yu Hong Wang as you claimed. Trolls and sockpuppets do
not get apologies, even for real slights, much less the imagined one that
you claim.

Donnie, don't you think that the MVPs have communication within their own
community?

You are really showing your ignorance, here, with this silly attempt at
"broken English" -- apparently you have not known the Chinese I have, most
of whom speak better English on a bad day than a Mellon-troll does on a good
day.

G'day, Donnie.

You claimed to be the MVP Yu Hong Wang, who is Chinese, and you are
denigrating Chinese with your silly attempts at "dialect", Donnie. Put away
your sockpuppet and go answer some real Access questions.

Larry,

Yu is of Taiwanese descent. I'd suggest you drop this thread before you
cause more trouble than you have already.
