I don't understand why (a) works and compiles but (b) does not...
(a)
Set qdfTemp = .CreateQueryDef ("", _
"SELECT * FROM Employees")
(b)
Set qdfTemp = .CreateQueryDef ("", _
"SELECT DISTINCTROW tblPmtsRcd.PmtI D,
tblPmtsRcd.Invo iceNumber, tblPmtsRcd.Vehi cleJobID,
tblPmtsRcd.PmtR ecTDStamp _
FROM tblPmtsRcd LEFT JOIN tblinvoiceData ON
tblPmtsRcd.Invo iceNumber = tblinvoiceData. InvoiceNumber _
WHERE tblPmtsRcd.Invo iceNumber<>0 And tblPmtsRcd.Invo iceNumber
Is Not Null AND tblinvoiceData. InvoiceNumber Is Null")
' Open Recordset and print report.
GetrstTemp qdfTemp
Isn't (b) just a longer SQL string with continuation characters and
(a) a shorter SQL string with continuation characters?
Everytime I type the Set statement in (b) into a module, it turns
red and gives me an error. I do not recognize what is wrong.
With the damned newsreader wrapping - you may not be able
to see what I'm doing wrong either. Sorry about that. Would
like to know. If I type EVERYTHING on one line - no problem.
But when I try using line continuation characters everything
turns red. 3 4447

In b, you have the continuation character in the middle of a literal
string (" on both ends), but not in a.
If you need to continue a literal string there are a couple of options
SQL = "First part of the string " & _
"continuati on of string " & _
"last line of string"
SQL = "First part of the string " _
& "continuati on of string " _
& "last line of string"
Are you sure I'm in the middle of a literal string?
I don't think that's the case.

Playing with Prothon today, I am fascinated by the idea of eliminating

Here is an example of a Python class with all three types of methods

Hi all,
Python lets you continue a single logical line across more than one
physical line, either by putting a \ at the end or letting it happen
automatically with an incomplete infix operator.
I'm wondering how often is this feature needed? Would there be any
problems if it weren't part of the language?

Hi,
I have an SQL string that I'm trying to code into VBA and it's giving
me trouble. I tried to use line continuation and concatenation as best
I can to make it work. However, I'm stuck. I know that there are
limitations to the length of the string but I can't break it up
properly. I'm also thinking that I need to use multiples occurrences of
strsql to do so but I'm not sure how.
Can someone please tell me how to break this string up?

However, these tend to get messed up by indentation whitespace, which gets

I've always appreciated Python's lack of requirement for a semi-colon
at the end of each line. I also appreciate its rules for automatic
line continuation. If a statement ends with a "+", for example, Python
recognizes that the statement obviously must continue.
I've noticed, however, that the same rule does not apply when a line
ends with "and," "or," or "not." Yes, it's a minor point, but
shouldn't the same rule apply?
Seems like it...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
