Is it acceptable to use a colon ":" to seperate statements in VBA?
strVar1 = "A": lngVar2 = 0: blnVar3 = True
Msgbox strVar1: Msgbox lngVar2: Msgbox blnVar3
Thanks

It is legal syntax, but in many situations can make the code
difficult to read/debug. Use it sparingly or not at all.

I was going to say don't be so silly, but before I did, I tried:
Function test()
MsgBox "hi": MsgBox "hello": MsgBox "What cha doin?"
End Function
And I'll be a monkey's uncle, it works!!!
So I guess it's acceptable. 8) I would find it hard to read and follow
if I were looking at code, though.

I was surprised to see this work also, since the colon seemed to be
reserved to the GoTo or Resume statements. That's why I was wondering
if there would be problems?
As far as readability goes, there are instances (like initializations )
that would make for cleaner reading, rather than introducing some many
lines:
VarA=0: VarB=0: VarC=0: VarD=0
VarE=1: VarF=3: VarG=5: VarH=7
VarK=2: VarL=4: VarM=6: VarN=8
VarA=0
VarB=0
VarC=0
VarD=0
VarE=1
VarF=3
VarG=5
VarH=7
VarK=2
VarL=4
VarM=6
VarN=8
Etc............ ... Ap******@gmail. com wrote:

That's about the only time I use it. Another is the cleanup
code:
rs.Close : Set rs = Nothing

I'm pretty sure that previous versions of IE rendered them by the

Hello,
I saw in some open source projects a use of "!!" in "C" code;
for example:
in some header file
#define event_pending(v) \
(!!(v)->vcpu_info->evtchn_upcall_pending & \
!(v)->vcpu_info->evtchn_upcall_mask)
whereas evtchn_upcall_pending is of type unsigned char
(and also evtchn_upcall_mask is of type unsigned char).

I have a query with a field name of "Street", however, I would like
it
to read "CAT:STREET".
This query is exported to a csv file that requires the format of the

In the query I have been unable to create an expression that does not
choke on the ":". Or is there a way to add the Header Field Name at
the time of the TransferText?
