I've come across several instances of code in which some statements
start with a hash mark/symbol (#). When stepping through the code,
these statements are skipped, as if they were comments.

For example, a line which has:

#Const SkipMe = True

is skipped. So would be:

#If whatever = 1 then
... 'anything in here would be skipped too
#End If

I have searched high and low, but can't figure out what these hash
marks (#) mean.

Any hints or pointers in the right direction?

Many thanks.

Makes perfect sense. Thanks for the link and the help.

Cheers,
Kevin
