Expected End of Line; Trying to break up string block in VBEditor

**AlvaroSiza** · 01-05-2012, 01:12 AM

I know this is going to be an easy one, but I can't get it.

I would like this

Dim strCleanup As String
  strCleanup = "There was an error retrieving your geocoordinates. Please ensure an accurate, non-range address e.g. 701 - 711 Lake Street; and retry."

to appear as

Dim strCleanup As String
  strCleanup = "There was an error retrieving your geocoordinates. Please ensure an accurate
, non-range address e.g. 701 - 711 Lake Street; and retry."

in my vbeditor.

I have tried the <space>_ continuation character, but everytime I do I receive an Expected: End Of Statement (Compile Error).

Baffled.

 strCleanup =  "There was an error retrieving your geocoordinates. Please ensure an accurate, " & VBnewline & "non-range address e.g. 701 - 711 Lake Street; and retry."

JJ,

strCleanup is a string used in a MsgBox. I am not looking to break up the string for presentation, just within my editor so it doesn't run off the screen.

In that case you might need to use the end sign. That's the only solution I can think of

Dim strcleanup As String
strcleanup = "There was an error retrieving your geocoordinates. Please ensure an accurate " & _
"non-range address e.g. 701 - 711 Lake Street; and retry"
