Hi,XL2003
I have the following all on one line:

Range("A2") =
"=SUMPRODUCT(--(B$2:B$445=B2)*(C$2:C$445=C2)*(D$2:D$445=D2)*(G$2: G$445=G2)*(H$2:H$445=H2)*(I$2:I$445=I2))"

This line works fine as it is. But if I try to use the <space underscore
line continuation thingy somewhere in the line, the text turns red, and an
error message comes up: Compile error. Expected end of statement.
Is this normal VBA behaviour, or am I missing something?

You can do something like

S = "=SUMPRODUCT(--(B$2:B$445=B2)*(C$2:C$445=C2)*(D$2:D$445=D2)" & _
"*(G$2:G$445=G2)*(H$2:H$445=H2)*(I$2:I$445=I2) )"

Since you are concatenating strings, each string must be enclosed in "
characters. I suspect you didn't have a " before the line continuation
characters.
