Invalid procedure call or argument

[egodette]

I just cant make sense of this.

if I use this code: msgbox = left(s_Line,pos-1)
I get the value that I want

if I use this code: rating = left(s_Line,pos-1)
I get an error message Invalid procedure call or argument:'left'

Any ideas?

You should have name collision. First, you must have dim a variable named msgbox. (It is already a very bad idea to name a variable "msgbox".) Second, you should have some function or sub named rating. Why you do that, I have no idea! Do you feel a short of choice in naming thing?

Invalid procedure call or argument:'left' implies that "pos-1" evaluates to 0 or a negative.

But you would really need to show more code to get any help here. Let's just say that this line:

msgbox = left(s_Line,pos-1)

is, ummmm, unusual.
