Expected procedure, not variable

There is no procedure by this name in the current scope, but there is a variable by this name. You can call a procedure, but not a variable. This error has the following cause and solution:

• The name of a variable is used as a procedure call. The error may also be caused by misspelling the name of a valid procedure, because that can be misconstrued as an implicitly defined variable. Check the spelling of the procedure name, and make sure the procedure you are trying to call isn't private to another module.
