Hello Noorain, et.al.,
No need for the the VBA qualifiers. You only need to specify the VBA library name when you have another procedure with the same name in scope that would otherwise be executed instead, which is probably better avoided by not naming procedures with the names of builtins. This concept for qualifying applies to all procedures/methods that are in execution scope.
