Default VBA Continuation Lines, Best Practices Mar08

There is a mild trade-off in readability vs. efficiency. The compiled
code is *slightly* more efficient when you leave it all on one line,
but it's more readable if you split it. My recommendation is to split
as needed, after all, you are the one that has to work with the code
so do what is comfortable for you.

Hi All,

keep from scrolling left and right to see a whole statement I often break
them up. *Then, you lose some capability when using VBE to find 'something'
since it doesn't *"know" *from continued lines.

Is there a "best" or is it a personal preferance ?

What are the other pro's/con's leaving continued lines in a proc once
the code is deemed production ready ? *(For maintenance I envision replacing
whole procs, not adding or inserting groups of lines.)

Thanks,
