To use quotes within strings. ie.

Call me "Bob" OK



This is hard to define within vb as quotes define the start and end of a string so:

talk = "Call me "Bob" OK"



wont work. You can get around this by usings its ascii value (Chr(34) is equivalent to a quote) however there is an easier way, using double and triple quote marks.



A double quote within a text string will add a quote into the text so

MsgBox "Hello ""Bob""!"



Will display

Hello "Bob"!



This also works at the start of a string so

MsgBox """Bob"""



Will display

"Bob"



This is a simple tip but will save you alot of effort.
