Can I use variables in the text portion of a message box?
Title says it all practically. I have a msgbox pop up at times in my code to tell me about progress plateaus. What I want to do is incorporate cell value calls, etc. in the msgbox text. Can I use "CONCATENATE" or other cell functions within macro code? |

Something like: var1 = "Is the Date " var2 = #9/1/2010# var3 = " OK?" s = var1 & var2 & var3 MsgBox (s) |

I keep forgetting about making declarations right there in the code. Can I use range names and thereby extract cell values on the fly? |

Example... Application.WorksheetFunction.Sum
Use "&" in place of Concatenate... "Smith" & "Wesson" equals "SmithWesson" See "List of Worksheet Functions" in Excel help. -- Jim Cone Portland, Oregon USA http://www.contextures.com/excel-sort-addin.html .. .. ..
