From what I have read the Command window is similar to the Immediate Window
in MS Access, thus you can type in the name of a function prefixed with a ?
and run the function while the application is NOT running. For example, to
test this, I created a PUBLIC Function Adding(byval x as integer, byval y as
integer) integer.

In the Command Windows I typed:

?Adding(1,2)

and I got the error: Command "Adding(1,2)" is not valid.

Is there a switch or option I must turn on somewhere?

Dear Greg,

Based on my experience, the "Command Window" is used to execute pre-defined
commands or aliases directly in the Visual Studio IDE. It can not be used
to execute the function. See the official document below:
"Command Window"
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/c785s0kz(VS.80).aspx

However, you may use the "Immediate Window" to execute statements. Please
refer to the link below for details:

Hope it helps.

Best regards,
