Unhappy Recognizing odd or even integers
I am learning Visual basic 6.0 on my own. I need to know how to write a function that returns the highest odd integer that is not greater than the parameter. How do I write code that determines odd from even numbers?

With all the help you give here, you deserve the top of the list!

I think there was a timestamp hiccup with the server.

if it's a function you need, then

Private Function OddOrEven(temp as Integer) as Integer
if temp mod 2 = 1 then
'temp is odd, so the function returns the same number
OddOrEven = temp
else
'temp is even, so the function returns one less
OddOrEven = temp - 1
end if
end function

Good point, if you have to do it over and over - make it a function! I would recommend making the return value a boolean though
