For greater consistency in terminology between the Crystal Ball Developer Kit and VBA:
The term "macro" describes a sequence of VBA code created using the Crystal Ball Developer Kit.
The term "function" describes a Developer Kit element that returns a value. For example, the CB.GetCertainty function returns the probability of reaching the specified certainty value.
The term "subroutine" describes a Developer Kit element that does not return a value — for example, CB.AboutBox.
The term "call" or "macro call" is used generically to describe any Developer Kit function or subroutine — for example, "The next section describes new Crystal Ball Developer Kit calls."
In this version of the Crystal Ball Developer Kit, all macro calls are listed together in alphabetical order in Crystal Ball Macro Calls. For lists of macro calls grouped by functionality, see Crystal Ball Developer Kit Overview.
For information on how the Developer Kit calls have changed since the 2000.5 (5.5) version, see Changes from Previous Versions.
