Editor setting to allow spaces in my code?

The editor eliminates spaces in my code. Is there a setting or
technique for stopping this behavior. I want to be able to space out
my code for cleaner reading?
' I Like This:
txtLASTMASTERS = Me.LASTMASTERS
txtCOPYFILES = Me.COPYFILE
txtBEDATAFILES = Me.BEDATAFILE

'But Get This:
txtLASTMASTERS = Me.LASTMASTERS
txtCOPYFILE = Me.COPYFILE
txtBEDATAFILES = Me.BEDATAFILES

Hi.
The editor eliminates spaces in my code. Is there a setting or
technique for stopping this behavior.
One may place the code with the extra spaces within a comment, and the VB
Editor will leave the formatting alone. Not that this does one any good.
The code without the extra spaces is required for Access to execute the
programmer's intentions, because the syntax is parsed in a very specific way
that doesn't allow the extra white space many other programming IDE's allow.

HTH.

That's what I thought. Too bad!

ThankYou for the response.

You're welcome. But if you want an IDE that supports extra white space, be
aware that you can program the front end of the database application in many
other different platforms, but it will take you about three to ten times
longer to do so when compared to Access's RAD environment.
