I have developed a DebugSupport class that gives the option of directing
Debug.Print output to Immediate Window or Immediate Window and disk file
or disk file only. This class has a method output_line. So, in my code
I replace Debug.Print "Line: " & "Test stuff" with
Public dp as New DebugSupport dp.output_line
("Line: " & "Test stuff")

This works fine. However if the Debug.Print message contains formatting
functions such as Tab() or Spc(), then I get a compile error i.e.
dp.output_line ("Line: "; Tab(10); "Test stuff") Compile error

So, my question is how do I pass such a message into a subroutine.

The method output_line does two things. It puts the input argument into a
Debug.Print statement and then prints it to disk. I assume that the
Tab() function is specific to Debug.Print and that I would have to supply
some code to replicate this formatting control while printing to disk.
That is not difficult. But I am stumped by the compile error. Thanks

Try constructing the entire string BEFORE passing to your routine so it's
already the output string formatted as desired, ..perhaps!

Actually, I have a more fundamental difficulty
Debug.Print "A"; Tab(60); "B" ' works properly
but
Dim stringa as string
stringa = "A; Tab(60); B"
Debug.Print stringa ' gives output: A; Tab(60); B

Is there a way to fix this ?

sA = "A;" & Tab(60) & "; B"
Debug.Print sA

Minus the semicolons...

Dim sA$
sA = "A" & Tab(60) & "B"
Debug.Print sA

I tried your suggestion but still getting a syntax error (Excel 2010) with or without the semicolons.
