Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

You can force ByRef arguments ByVal? Make your call with the argument in parenthesis. For example.
Private Sub MySub (ByRef Value as String)
Value = "Modified"
End Sub
Dim A as String
A = "Original"
MySub A
Debug.Print A 'Immediate window shows Modified
A = "Original"
MySub (A)
Debug.Print A 'Immediate window show "Original"
