Kevin,

Ther is NO difference between the two VFP keywords PROCEDURE and FUNCTION. There is a difference between a procedure and a function, a procedure is called with the DO command and a function is called by putting parens at the end of the name as in;

DO MyRoutine && Calling a procedure

MyRoutine()  && Calling a function

Any PROCEDURE or FUNCTION in VFP can be called either way. With the function syntax the routine will return a value (Logical .T. by default). With the DO syntax any return value is ignored.
