novice's clueless about why VBA shows an error message

[seraphin]

An absolute newbie to Excel VBA. so I copied a script from "VBA for dummies" and pasted it in a new module from a new worksheet in a new workbook. Below is what I pasted.

Sub GuessName()
Msg = “Is your name “ & Application.UserName & “?”
Ans = MsgBox(Msg, vbYesNo)
If Ans = vbNo Then MsgBox “Oh, never mind.”
If Ans = vbYes Then MsgBox “I must be
psychic!”
End Sub

When I hit "Run", it showed "Compile error: Syntax error". A yellow arrow showed up next to "Sub GuessName ()", which is highlighted in yellow. And it seems that the second line "Msg = "..... " is also highlighted, but in blue.
I have NO idea why there is a Syntax error. The book didn't say anything (so I assume there should be NO Syntax error". Any help ??

VBA uses straight quotes, not left and right quotes as in your post.

OMG !!!! THANK YOU !! - didn't notice this change - not sure why a simple copy-paste would change the quotation marks from straight to slanted

You're welcome.
