How to return a value from a Function?

I have a problem with a function .. i need to return a value and i cant make
it work.. this is my code an a little explanation about what it should do.
hope you can help me

PHP Code:
 ALL THIS CODE IS IN A FORM----->

Function 
formatearFecha(ByRef fecha) As String

    Dim miAno
miMesmiDia

    miAno 
Mid(fecha14)
    
miMes Mid(fecha52)
    
miDia Mid(fecha78)

    
fecha miDia "/" miMes "/" miAno

End 
Function

Private 
Sub Form_Load()
Dim temp As String

    SOME CODE HERE
....

    Do While 
Not rs.EOF()
    
temp formatearFecha(rs!fecha)
        
msgbox temp
    rs
.MoveNext
    Loop
End Sub 


Well the explanation: i retrieve a number from rs!fecha like 20030611 then
in the function i convert it to "date" format so i want the return value
something like "11/06/2003". the function works ok.. i mean it does what it
should do (trsnformthe number into date format) , but my problem is that in
the form load in the MSGBOX temp line it shows nothing, i mean .. temp
variable is NULL.. Why the the "fecha" variable is not passed to the
variable temp??? how do i return that value from the function? what im doing
wrong here??

To return a value from a function in VB, the last line of your function should assign the return value to a variable with the exact same name as your function, like this:
PHP Code:
 formatearFecha miDia "/" miMes "/" miAno
