Default Inability to add quotation mark around a variable byconcatenation in VBA

Hi,



I am outputting some data for another programmer to parse.



He has requested that I add quotation marks around each variable, but when I attempt to do it VBA will have none of it, and wants me to insert 2 quotation marks or none!



Here's my code:



Dim bCount As Byte

For bBandNo = 1 To 9



If arrbBandValue(bBandNo) 0 Then



bCount = bCount + 1

'Last one needs special treatment (no comma after and quotes at the end

If bCount = bBandCount Then



sBandValues = sBandValues & arrbBandValue(bBandNo) & ";" & bBandNo

Exit For



End If



sBandValues = sBandValues & arrbBandValue(bBandNo) & ";" & bBandNo & ","



End If



Next bBandNo



psBandValues = sBandValues





I tried two approaches the first being to add them at the end which would be easiest. I just amended the last line:



psBandValues = """ & sBandValues & """



However this destroys my variable returning instead of "MyVariableString" as I intend, instead it returns



The second to do it 'at source' which yielded the same result.



Maybe I am missing something (probably) but should it be so hard to simply add quotation marks around a variable???



Any help much appreciated, M.


Hey Garry, that worked like a dream thanks so much for the help, M.
