Standard length of a line of VBA code?
 

This may be a matter more of opinion, but does anybody know if there is
a generally accepted length to how long a single line of code should be
before breaking it to the next line with a " _ "? What do you all do?

No, It's up to you.
Most of us just break the line so that it remains visible within the
viewable window.
Sometimes, if I have a particularly long set of arguments to a function I
just let it go on one line; if I want to see all the arguments, I just scroll
over.

But overall, NO there is no standard.
Whatever seems comfortable.

I like to keep it below 76 characters, that way I don't get it wrapping
around if I print in portrait mode.

I think the NGs does wrap-around at about 72 chars though which is a pain.

I like to have each argument on separate lines, and the same with the call.
I also prefer to name the parameters in the call.
