Calling function with multiple return values??

I am new to VB. I need to call a function that returns several values. What is the syntax? Do I do

[val1, val2, ...] = function()

Or does it return a structure and then I do

v = function()

at which point I have v.val1, v.val2,...

The documentation I have is quite pathetic so I know nothing about the function other than that it returns a bunch of values.

Thanks,

Brian

I would say that it is going to return an array of values. Do you know if all the values are going to be the same such all longs or all strings? If they are going to be different, some longs, some strings, etc. then you will need to use a variant.


Code:
Dim foo as variant

foo = function()
