Compile Error

[ksandova]

I am using this code to compact and repair an access
database and it generates a compile error "Function call
on left side of assignment must return Variant or Object"

What did I do wrong?

Here is the code:

Sub tests()
Dim MDB1 As String, MDB2 As String
MDB1 = "C:\Comp0001.mdb"
MDB2 = "C:\Comp0002.mdb"

RepairDatabase(MDB1, MDB2) = False
End Sub
Function RepairDatabase(strSource As String, _
strDestination As String) As Boolean
' Input values: the paths and file names of
' the source and destination files.

' Trap for errors.
On Error GoTo error_handler

' Compact and repair the database. Use the return
value of
' the CompactRepair method to determine if the file was
' successfully compacted.
RepairDatabase = _
Application.CompactRepair( _
SourceFile:=strSource, _
DestinationFile:=strDestination, _
LogFile:=True)

' Reset the error trap and exit the function.
On Error GoTo 0
Exit Function

' Return False if an error occurs.
error_handler:
RepairDatabase = False

End Function

Sub tests()
Dim MDB1 As String, MDB2 As String
MDB1 = "C:\Comp0001.mdb"
MDB2 = "C:\Comp0002.mdb"


'RepairDatabase(MDB1, MDB2) = False <- change this ...
RepairDatabase MDB1, MDB2 '<- to this

End Sub
