-SOLVED- Create object in function

[Jaymond Flurrie]

I'm making a program that creates some charts, pastes them to Word and loops that around a certain number of times, for example 40 times. I got it already to work, but then I realized that it's pretty slow to create the Word application and document each time from scratch, so I decided to do that once, delete everything from the document, paste the charts to Word save the document and loop that process instead.

So now I got to create that function. Here's the important part I have:

Sub ChartsMain()
    Dim DocWD As Word.Document

    Set DocWD = CreateChartDoc
End Sub

Function CreateChartDoc() As Word.Document
    Dim appWD As Word.Application 'Word application
    Dim DocWD As Word.Document 'Word document
    
    'Open a hidden Word instance
    Set appWD = CreateObject("Word.Application")
    appWD.Visible = False

    'Create a new document
    Set DocWD = appWD.Documents.Add
    
    'Return a Word document
    CreateChartDoc = DocWD
    
End Function

And yes, I do have the references set, because it works without this function (ie. when I create a new Word application each time)

I clearly have some syntax problem here about returning the object, since it gives me "invalid use of syntax". What is it and how do I fix it?

SOLUTION: The last linee misses a "SET" ie. it should be
Set CreateChartDoc = DocWD
