What is "Argument not optional?"

This usually means that you are trying to get the code to do something that it can not do. For instance you are trying to make a msgbox = something.

Take a closer look at the documentation on how the argument is supposed to look.

You may want to cut and paste the code where the error is occurring on here.

Call FillDebitRecord(strBookBatch, strBookDeploy, intDebitCounter, intDeployCounter)
Call FillCreditRecord(strBookBatch, strBookDeploy, intCreditCounter, intDeployCounter)
Call FillDescriptionRecord(strBookBatch, strBookDeploy, intDescriptionCounter, intDeployCounter)
intDebitCounter = intDebitCounter + 2
intCreditCounter = intCreditCounter + 2
intDescriptionCounter = intDescriptionCounter + 2
intDeployCounter = intDeployCounter + 1
Wend

' fill the last line with a credit record plus the total amount
Call FillLastRecord(strBookBatch, strBookDeploy, intDescriptionCounter, intDeployCounter)

To me that means you are calling a function/subroutine/procedure that requires an argument.

For example:
str

The str function converts a number to a string, you cannot call that function without "passing" a number as an argument.

For example:
str(35)

would return 35 as a string.

Therefore,

dim strString as string
dim intInt as Integer

intInteger = 35
strString = str(intInteger)

You are probably missing an argument in one or all of your Calls.

Hope this helps.
