Sub Procedure vs Function

[Paul]

Can anyone give the definative answer as to the
differance between a Sub Procedure and a Function

My answer is that a sub procedure accepts input values
whereas a function accepts input values and exports
values.

Well either *can* accept input arguments, but that is required in neither.
The main difference is that a function returns a value.

Some people always use functions and in those cases where a return value is
not actually generated by the process have it return True/False merely to
indicate that the process ran successfully or not.

Both Subs and functions can be passed arguments (input values) and can
manipulate those values, but the difference between the two is that a function
can return a value. Your answer was, essentially, correct.
