Using VBA to validate a bank code (IBAN)

Hi,

See code below which I downloaded.
I understand the detail of the code but am unsure about how I interpret the result!

Suppose I am validating the string "BankCode99".

Presumably I call the validation as follows;

IsValidIBAN BankCode99

......

After the code returns from the function what IF condition do I use to determine if I have failed or succeeded the validation


How do I check if I have passed the validation?
