Not saying it is right or wrong, but you could do something like the following:

Public Function MyFunction(ByRef i As Integer, ByRef ds As Dataset) As Boolean
    If blah then
        'Manipulate ds here
    Else
        'Manipulate i here
    End If

Return True       'Return True or False depending

End Function

Back where you called MyFunction, you could then test the values of the integer variable and the dataset variable and do the processing you need to do.

Thanks,
