vba appears to insert a carriage return within certain text strings, this is hosing my code.

geo259 = "ABLA"
geo260 = "A LA"
geo261 = "A LA B"
geo262 = "la"
geo263 = "A"
geo264 = "L"
geo265 = "a"
geo266 = "l"

In break mode (note where the double quote occurs):
when i hover over geo259, 'geo259 =' appears
when i hover over geo260, 'geo260 ="A' appears
when i hover over geo261, 'geo261 ="A LA' appears (screen shot below)
when i hover over geo262, 'geo262 ="la"' appears
when i hover over geo263, 'geo263 ="A"' appears
when i hover over geo264, 'geo264 ="L"' appears
when i hover over geo265, 'geo265 ="a"' appears
when i hover over geo266, 'geo266 ="l"' appears

it appears all these text values write correctly if i write the string to cells within the worksheet .

any logic test with vba using values geo259, geo260, and geo261 cannot be relied on, which is smoking the process.

it looks to me like the string "LA" is causing an issue. poking around i found "LJ" and "LZ" behave similar. Other letter combinations beginning with "L" do not.

an associate cannot replicate this issue on his pc.

if i open and close excel, issue continues to occur.

it does not appear i am using a reserved string.

do i have to reset something somewhere?

Thanks all for any suggestions.

Excel Facts

Repeat Last Command
Pressing F4 adds dollar signs when editing a formula. When not editing, F4 repeats last command.
Your pics are postage stamp size so can't see much. If it's not a version issue or how the wb is being interacted with between you and anyone else, I don't have a clue. You might try Replace function, like
replace(geo259,chr(10),"")

Micron thanks for taking a look. Good idea, sadly no luck. I tried similar much more involved approach which did not do the trick either. I reattached the postage stamps, maybe these are better look.

Pics are readable now. Cell value is what was assigned to the variable, so the problem is that the bubble help doesn't show the complete value? If that's it, I don't think I'd worry about it. I use it when it works and inquire in the immediate window when it doesn't.
