Declaring string constant

John

I want to declare a somewhat larger string constant which doesn't fit on one
line. I tried several ways without luck. Is it even possible to declare it
on more than one line?

Thanks,
john

You can break the string and use the line continuation charcter, e.g.:
Const gstrcString1 = "Line1 " & vbCrLf & _
"Line 2" & vbCrLf & _
"Line 3"
