Thanks! What does the # symbol do?

It's a conditional compilation prefix statement used in VB which should work in VBA. #Define &nbsp;in VB = Const but for conditional compilation use #Const.

Simple question for everyone...<br />
<br />
In C++, I used to use #define to switch code on and off as follows:<br />
<br />
#define DUMMY<br />
<br />
#ifdef DUMMY<br />
some code here...<br />
#endif<br />
<br />
If I commented out &quot;#define DUMMY&quot;, the compiler would ignore all the code between #ifdef and #endif. <br />
<br />
Is there anything in VBA that I can use to switch code blocks on and off like this?<br />
<br />

On/Off switch for VBA code

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
