I have: Shell Path & Command
where Command starts with an executable and continues with a string of
switches/options. Something like
Command = "Execute .....a rather long string...."

The result is a long statement. To make it more readable and understandable,
I've tried splitting the string with "_" but this causes errors.

Am I using the underscore incorrectly, or is there a better way, please?

Regards.

Hi Stuart

Do you have a space before the underscore, ie " _".

To spread a string over more than one line, it would look something
like this:

"Some text here" & _
"Some more text here" & _
"Yet more text"

Thanks, am doing that.
Will investigate further.

Try submitting some of the code so we can see what you need to do to
get it to work.

I once had a persistent error with the Shell command, and it turned out
that the argument after Path needed quotation marks - Chr(34) - around
it. What errors are you getting?
