>VB has the capacity to use named arguments. In this case, the argument is named shift. The nice thing about named arguments is that if you use the names, you can pass the arguments in any order. Also, most VB samples directly reference the constant names - which in this case is xldown.

>To find the constant values, use the object browser (F2) in the VB editor of an office application. In this case, use Excel - since a reference to the Excel Application Type Library will automatically be present.

>Also, search on the method of interest - in this case - the Insert Method. In VFP, you must use the default order of arguments - since VFP does not support named arguments.
