Thanks in advance for any solutions, suggestions or help for which I will give feedback.

I have two questions which are similar, but not exactly the same:

(1) How do you break a comment such as the following into multiple lines (i.e. continuation)? This is basically so I can keep it on the screen without having to scroll over to read it. When I try to do the following it gives errors.


Code:
MsgBox "There is an error when I try to break this comment _ 
into multiple lines like I'm doing now. Can anyone suggest _ 
how to fix this.

(2) Besides breaking the comment into multiple lines, how do you do that and show hard returns in an excel box, to where the box will show something like this....I assuming it's possibly a form box?

The following errors occurred:
(1) Incorrect path.
(2) Incorrect file name.

Press Ctrl+` to show all formulas. Press it again to toggle back to numbers. The grave accent is often under the tilde on US keyboards.
Code:
  MsgBox "There is an error when I try to break this comment " & _
         "into multiple lines like I'm doing now. Can anyone suggest " & _
         "how to fix this."

  MsgBox "The following errors occurred:" & vbLf & _
         "(1) Incorrect path." & vbLf & _
         "(2) Incorrect file name."

shg that worked perfectly! I could not find the first solution anywhere for comments. Other items, but not for comments.

The second answer I found nowhere! Thanks my friend from the Lone Star State!

During entry in a Cell, use ALT+ENTER to create the LF
In a Comment Box use SHIFT+ENTER to create you LF.
