I'm trying to write a function that checks for prime numbers and returns true if a number is prime. Something simple, i'm just a beginner. Here's what I have, does it make sense..if not any input would be appreciated.

Function IsPrime(ByVal dblCheck As Double) As Boolean
Dim intNumber As Integer
For intNumber = 2 To dblCheck - 1
If dblCheck Mod intNumber = 0 Then
IsPrime = False
Exit Function
End If
Next intNumber
IsPrime = True
'return prime numbers
Return dblCheck
End Function 'IsPrime
