Syntax Error while calling sub: Expected: =

[cowboy]

I am sure this is a simple syntax error of some sort just havent been able to put my finger on the problem yet.



I have a simple sub:

Sub sPosition(ctn As String, p1 As Integer, p2 As Integer)
    If IsNull(Me.Controls(ctn)) = False Then
        Me.Controls(ctn).Top = p1
        Me.Controls(ctn).Left = p2
    End If
End Sub

I try to call this sub with the code:

sPosition ("lblTo", 9950 ,8000)

and it gives me the error
Compile error:
Expected: =

I am confused why it wants an = sign, I removed the integers and it doesnt give me an error, but ofcourse doesnt work. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Try

sPosition "lblTo", 9950 ,8000

or

Call sPosition ("lblTo", 9950 ,8000)

both worked, can you explain why? Do () only work when you "Call" a sub?

Basically; if you look at help on Call, it explains it better than I can.
