vba - Return multiple values from a function, sub or type?

So I was wondering, how can I return multiple values from a function, sub or type in VBA? I've got this main sub which is supposed to collect data from several functions, but a function can only return one value it seems. So how can I return multiple ones to a sub?

See Question&Answers more detail:os

You might want want to rethink the structure of you application, if you really, really want one method to return multiple values.

Either break things apart, so distinct methods return distinct values, or figure out a logical grouping and build an object to hold that data that can in turn be returned.

' this is the VB6/VBA equivalent of a struct
' data, no methods
Private Type settings
    root As String
    path As String
    name_first As String
    name_last As String
    overwrite_prompt As Boolean
End Type


Public Sub Main()

    Dim mySettings As settings
    mySettings = getSettings()


End Sub

' if you want this to be public, you're better off with a class instead of a User-Defined-Type (UDT)
Private Function getSettings() As settings

    Dim sets As settings

    With sets ' retrieve values here
        .root = "foo"
        .path = "bar"
        .name_first = "Don"
        .name_last = "Knuth"
        .overwrite_prompt = False
    End With

    ' return a single struct, vb6/vba-style
    getSettings = sets

End Function
