The VBA MsgBox function is used to display messages to the user in the form of a message box. We can configure the message box to provide the user with a number of different buttons such as Yes, No, Ok, Retry, Abort, Ignore and Cancel. Jun 13, 2019 Basically I have about 200 xlsx files that have XML Mapping already in the xlsx file but wanted to create a vba code to open and save all the xlsx files as xml data files but I keep getting a Compile Error: Expected: named Parameter. I have included my code below for your reference. Any help would be appreciated.
-->To call a Sub procedure from another procedure, type the name of the procedure and include values for any required arguments. The Call statement is not required, but if you use it, you must enclose any arguments in parentheses.
You can use a Sub procedure to organize other procedures so they are easier to understand and debug. In the following example, the Sub procedure
Main
calls the Sub procedure MultiBeep
, passing the value 56 for its argument.After
MultiBeep
runs, control returns to Main
, and Main
calls the Sub procedure Message
. Message
displays a message box; when the user clicks OK, control returns to Main
, and Main
finishes.Note

Call Sub procedures with more than one argument
The following example shows two ways to call a Sub procedure with more than one argument. The second time it is called, parentheses are required around the arguments because the Call statement is used.
Use parentheses when calling function procedures
To use the return value of a function, assign the function to a variable and enclose the arguments in parentheses, as shown in the following example.
If you are not interested in the return value of a function, you can call a function the same way you call a Sub procedure. Omit the parentheses, list the arguments, and do not assign the function to a variable, as shown in the following example.
If you include parentheses in the preceding example, the statement causes a syntax error.
Pass named arguments
A statement in a Sub or Function procedure can pass values to called procedures by using named arguments. You can list named arguments in any order. A named argument consists of the name of the argument followed by a colon and an equal sign (:=), and the value assigned to the argument.
The following example calls the MsgBox function by using named arguments with no return value.
The following example calls the MsgBox function by using named arguments. The return value is assigned to the variable.
