I have tried this by creating a module1 with a sub
public sub testing (invar as string, outvar as string)
outvar = "Hi " & invar
end sub

Called in main form
dim avariable as string
module1.testing("Rohnny", @avariable)
print avariable

But avariable is empty should it be "Hi Rohnny"?

Or have a missed something.
