Question

This might be a really easy one but I couldn’t seem to find an answer anywhere

I’m trying to comment my code as follows

Session("test") = "JAMIE" _ 
'TEST INFO
& "TEST" _
'ADDRESS INFO
& "ADDRESS = TEST" 

With the code above i’m getting the error

Syntax error

But when I remove the comments like so

Session("test") = "JAMIE" _ 
& "TEST" _
& "ADDRESS = TEST" 

It works fine so my guess is that I cannot comment my code between the _ character.

Is there some way I can get around this as I’d like to comment my code ideally

Answer 1

The _ character is the line continuation. It means that the next line is interpreted as if it was on the same line.

So, putting a comment in the middle of the line is a syntax error.

Since you want a solution:

• Either put a comment before the continued line or after it

As Tim Schmelter points out in his answer, you can construct the value that will go into the Session object before you put it into the Session object – you can do that is separate statements and comment those to your hearts content.
