I am trying to get a text string to look like this: "SCN 25" from the
inputbox But I am having problems. the tripple quotes on the right side work but it wont let me do it on the left side. What is the procedure here? Thanks scnrate = InputBox("Scanning Rate (milliseconds) Range = 25 - 100", "Set Scanning Rate", 25) MsgBox """ & "SCN " & scnrate & """" |

I find it much easier to use Chr(34) where I want a quote mark rather than
nesting up several levels of double and triple " characters. MsgBox "SCN " & Chr(34) & scnrate & Chr(34) displays SCN "25" -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft MVP - Excel Pearson Software Consulting, LLC www.cpearson.com (email address is on the web site) "gtslabs" wrote in message ups.com...

Try one more double quote on the very left of the string (there needs to be 4
double quotes): MsgBox """" & "SCN " & scnrate & """" -- Jay "gtslabs" wrote: I am trying to get a text string to look like this: "SCN 25" from the inputbox But I am having problems. the tripple quotes on the right side work but it wont let me do it on the left side.
