Clarification please...
I thought there was this rule where if you use the "If" keyword
somewhere afterwards one had to follow-up with the "End If" phrase. Obviously not. Maybe the rule only applies in a Standard module and not a class module like below. Can someone clarify? Thanks in advance.. Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean) If ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Value < True _ Then Cancel = True End Sub |

Hi
If has 2 possible syntaxes. From MS Visual Basic Help: If condition Then [statements] [Else elsestatements] Or, you can use the block form syntax: If condition Then [statements] [ElseIf condition-n Then [elseifstatements] ... [Else [elsestatements]] End If In your example the single-line form is used. You probably got confused because the command line was splitted. If ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Value < True _ Then Cancel = True is same as If ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Value < True Then Cancel = True -- Arvi Laanemets (Don't use my reply address - it's spam-trap) "JMay" wrote in message news:nEric.16454$VQ3.11320@lakeread06...

You have already received the explanation vis-a-vis the If part. An
additional tidbit is that the If is totally unnecessary.

Arvi:
Thanks for response. So there are two forms of "If"; 1) The Single-line form - If True then Statement <<<< Not requiring "End If" 2) The Block form - If True then Statement, ElseIf, Else, EndIf <<<<Requiring "EndIf" The second forms appears plentifully in Code compared to the first. Is there a "rule" which directs you to apply #1 versus #2? TIA, "Arvi Laanemets" wrote in message ... Hi If has 2 possible syntaxes.

There are two styles of if statements.
One logical line and multiple logical lines (block form). your example is really one logical line--it has the line continuation characters (space underscore) trailing the True. if a = b then c = d if a = b then c = d end if My personal preference is to use the multiple line version--except on almost trivial code where it's easily seen. But at my age, I'll sometimes miss those continuation characters and I get confused. Next time you're in the VBE, highlight an If and hit F1. You'll see a couple examples.

OK - I see it (Tks Dave)...
If you can get the logical statement "ON ONE LINE" the EndIf is not required. If you take it two lines or more EndIf is required. Is that it?????

Not necessary for one-liners : if this then dothat
However, if this then dothat1 dothat2.... end if Paul "JMay" wrote in message news:nEric.16454$VQ3.11320@lakeread06...

In my programming endeavors I tend to think in terms of intent (where
the code simply reflects the developer's intent). So, if there is a single intent in the IF/THEN/ELSE parts, I use the single-line form, even if I then use multiple lines for ease-of-reading. It makes the *intent* clearer to whoever might be reading the code at a later date. And, the intent itself might include multiple VBA statements! Dim x As Integer, y As Integer, z As Boolean z = Application.InputBox("z?", Type:=4) If z Then _ x = 0: y = 0 _ Else _ x = 99: y = 99 MsgBox x & "," & y Of course, all this is moot since VB.Net does not support the single- line form of the IF. -- Regards, Tushar Mehta www.tushar-mehta.com Excel, PowerPoint, and VBA add-ins, tutorials Custom MS Office productivity solutions In article <_osic.16879$VQ3.8983@lakeread06, says...
