Disable error message in VBA

I can never remember how to turn off the error messages in VBA while typing.  I know there is a setting that will let the text become red but not pop up the error message.  Can somebody help me find it?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks again for your answer.  You have once again come to my aid.  

I like to copy and paste alot and sometimes I leave a line of code to grab another piece of code (variable names, etc).  I never like getting that error message because I know I am coming back to the line to finish it.  

I find it enough to keep the text colored red, but I can see your point too.  Wouldn't a compile point out any of the same errors that "Auto Syntax Check" will find?
For some of us, short term memory is a problem....red lines help in that case(:-)

Well...when I say 'some of us'.......
The points should go to Mike really - he was first
Well, as I said - I HATE the compile error messge box from auto syntax check.  The highlighted text is indeed ample and yes - a compile would highlight the same issues.
I would literally be a gibbering wreck by this stage of my life if every time I'd left a line of partial code I got that ******* message.

Fortunately my short term memory isn't as bad as Pete's. :-)

Oh and the points should go to Mike really - he was first.
Have I mentioned that I hate the auto syntax check?
Leigh,
Thanks, but I did have the spelling mistake: Syntx   ;¬}
Cheers,
Mike
Oh man... that stynx.  :-)

Have I mentioned that I hate the auto syntax check?
Sorry about that Mike,

For some reason I didn't see your answer....odd.  Is there anyway I can re-apply them?
No worries, life goes on!
