Instead os a sub you are better off with a function. Functions return values
where as subs perform actions. Sum is a function. It returns the sum of the
input numbers. So your function will look like this...

Public Sub Pull_Forward()
dim strWeek as string
num = InputBox("Enter the range (in calendar days) you wish to include
in the Pull Forward Calculation: ")
strWeek = Module1.current_date(num)
Call Module1.Pull_Fwd
End Sub

Private Function current_date(byval num as integer) as string
today = Date
today = Format(today, "mm/dd")
next_week = DateAdd("d", num, today)
next_week = Format(next_week, "mm/dd")
current_date = next_week
End Sub
