VBA question

Hello,

First, sorry to post this basic question. I'm not a programmer, I'm just understanding the code one by one and working.

X1$ = "&LOG Part: " & """" + SD$ + .Cells(R, 1) + ".prt" & """"
Print #1, X1$

The above code prints only when string is entered. If it is a pure number, I get debug error. I see dollar stands for string data type. But I don't know how to fix this. Can you please tell me how to modify this code so it accepts both string and numerical data type.

Thank you in advance.

Try using & for the concatenation rather than +

Thank you very much for your quick response. It works. If you don't mind, what is the difference between using & and + in this case?

& can only be used for strings.
+ is an arithmetic operator which can also be used to concatenate strings.

If your cell contains a number and you use +, it'll try to add it numerically which is incompatible with your string variable.
