for that.

I know in Word and Excel VBA macros, I can set a long string using

else. So I thought I'd check on this while I look over everything
else just to make sure this is okay in scripting.

Thanks.

Yes - _ as a line continuation character is supported in VBScript.


Thanks, Michael. At least now I know to look elsewhere for my problems..

Not that a trailing ' _' is legal in vb(a) but not in vbs.

msgbox "hello" _
