Why ByRef argument type mismatch? 1

[Motor11]

I have an argument type mismatch, but I believe all variables are of matching types. Any ideas why this might be occuring?

How the variables are defined in the calling subroutine:
Dim x_small, y_small, x_large, y_large As Double
Dim xmid, ymid As Double
Dim x_adjust, y_adjust As Double

How I call the subroutine (this is the line that returns the errors):
Call drawgrid(x_small, y_small, xmid, ymid, centerx, centery, x_adjust, y_adjust)


The offending subroutine:
Public Sub drawgrid(x_small As Double, y_small As Double, xmid As Double, ymid As Double, _
centerx As Double, centery As Double, x_adjust As Double, y_adjust As Double)

Mainform.scatter.Line (x_small + 0.2, y_small)-(x_small + 0.2, y_large - 0.05)
Mainform.scatter.CurrentX = x_small + 0.1
Mainform.scatter.CurrentY = y_large
tester = g2p((x_small + 0.2), x_adjust)
Mainform.scatter.Print Format(tester, "0.00&quot
end sub

Note: I am using VB 5 for this project.

Best regards,
Ryan

A couple of things - you might want to try explicitly declaring each variable as double

Dim x_small as Double, y_small as Double, x_large as Double, y_large As Double
Dim xmid as Double, ymid As Double
Dim x_adjust as Double, y_adjust As Double

Also, although probably an oversight on the post, I would also verify that centerx and centery or both explicitly declared as doubles. Good Luck

Thanks, you were correct, I was apparently defining my variables incorrectly. I'll change to your suggested method:

dim x as double, y as double

as opposed to

dim x, y as double

Best regards,

You will find that

dim x, y as double

dims x as a variant and dims y as a double Let me know if this helps
