Default Inability to add quotation mark around a variable by concatenation in VBA

Hi,

I am outputting some data for another programmer to parse.

He has requested that I add quotation marks around each variable, but when I attempt to do it VBA will have none of it, and wants me to insert 2 quotation marks or none!

Here's my code:

Dim bCount As Byte
For bBandNo = 1 To 9

If arrbBandValue(bBandNo) 0 Then

bCount = bCount + 1
'Last one needs special treatment (no comma after and quotes at the end
If bCount = bBandCount Then

sBandValues = sBandValues & arrbBandValue(bBandNo) & ";" & bBandNo
Exit For

End If

sBandValues = sBandValues & arrbBandValue(bBandNo) & ";" & bBandNo & ","

End If

Next bBandNo

psBandValues = sBandValues


I tried two approaches the first being to add them at the end which would be easiest. I just amended the last line:

psBandValues = """ & sBandValues & """

However this destroys my variable returning instead of "MyVariableString" as I intend, instead it returns

The second to do it 'at source' which yielded the same result.

Maybe I am missing something (probably) but should it be so hard to simply add quotation marks around a variable???

Any help much appreciated, M.
