Get rid of that design time syntax error message box.
VBcodersWhen editing a line source code sometimes you need to move to another line to copy or make changes there.
By default a horrible MessageBox appears telling you that the line you were editing has incorrect syntax.
You can prevent this by entering in:
Tools > Options
...and unselect "Auto Syntax Check"
The incomplete line still turns red but the annoying box is now gone!
