Another BASIC problem, this time with a string...

[Argon88]

This is the string I wrote,

strMesage = "Price per share: " & FormatNumber(dblPricePerShare, 3) & _
ControlChars.NewLine & "Number of Shares: " & *_* FormatNumber(intNumberofShares, 5)

The problem comes when it gets to the end of the second line. The part that I put in asteriks is the problem, (the asteriks aren't included in the real code) when I rest my cursur on the offending code I get a message that says "Identifier expected." I can't fugure out what the problem problem is.

get rid of underscore

Its only used if the rest of the line is on the next line

strMesage = "Price per share: " & FormatNumber(dblPricePerShare, 3) & _
ControlChars.NewLine & "Number of Shares: " & FormatNumber(intNumberofShares, 5)

or

strMesage = "Price per share: " & FormatNumber(dblPricePerShare, 3) & _
ControlChars.NewLine & "Number of Shares: " & _
FormatNumber(intNumberofShares, 5)
