    What do [brackets] mean in VBA?

    Hi all

    I get the impression that the use of brackets [such as this] in VBA code is shorthand to produce the same compiled effect as an alternative more verbose (but possibly to me easier to understand) coding.

    Could someone please re-write the above code without using the bracketed syntax, just so that I can understand the effect of that syntax?

    Thanks

    The brackets are a shortcut to the VBA Evaluate function. They look nice and compact, but when Evaluate is not needed, just add a function where none is necessary.
