I am writing a program which uses these two routines in the (global)
section of the Form:

sub load_something(byval recno as integer, record as rectype)
sub save_something(byval recno as integer, byval record as rectype)

The functions are entered in w/o any syntax errors. However, when,
in the form control functions (e.g. control_click), when I do

dim recnum as integer
dim rec as rectype

and then

recnum = (some integer)

load_something(recnum, rec)

It gives me an error "Expected: ="

so I type the line as

load_something(recnum, rec) = 1

and it stops with the "Expected: =" error, but instead gives me the
error "Undefined array: load_something."

I'm totally lost. HELP please! What am I doing wrong? When the function
used to be just

save_something(byval recno as integer)

I didn't used to get these two very wierd errors. What's up?!

Cheers,

Doug
