Strange Error in Function

[Tony]

Can anyone help me with this error?

code start ____________________________________________
Microsoft VBScript compilation error '800a03ee'
Expected ')'
/example.asp, line 142
Private Function FuncDiff(ByVal DateOne As DateTime, ByVal DateTwo As
DateTime)
------------------------------------------^
code end ____________________________________________

(for those of you using proportional fonts, the ^ is pointing to the space
between "DateOne^As")

The surrounding code is

<%
Private Function FuncDiff(ByVal DateOne As DateTime, ByVal DateTwo As
DateTime)
Dim Year1, Month1, Day1 As Integer
:
%>

A Google on this didn't help. The code looks good to me (of course).

Anybody have any ideas how to fix this?

THANKS,

Tony

All variables are variants in vbscript. It is illegal to try to asssign
datatypes to them

Private Function FuncDiff(ByVal DateOne , ByVal DateTwo)

Got it - thanks, Bob. But I've got a new problem - when the function tries
to return a string, I'm getting
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a000d'
Type mismatch: 'Return'

How do I define an ASP function so as to return a string?

Never mind, I fixed it.
Instead of

Private Function FuncDiff(ByVal DateOne , ByVal DateTwo)

' answer is the return value
Return answer

I needed

FuncDiff = answer
