Somethings amiss

[__John_L.]

Perhaps I know too much...to my way of thinking, any of the below lines (3-9) accomplish what I'm trying to do:

Dim mostArgs

Set mostArgs = ""
Set mostArgs = " "
Set mostArgs = Chr(20)
Set mostArgs = CStr("")
Set mostArgs = CStr(" ")
Set mostArgs = CStr(Empty)
Set mostArgs = Null

Set mostArgs = mostArgs & " " & "theRest"

All throw errors.

Thanks in advance for any insight you can provide.

Welcome to VBForums

When you get errors, tell us what the messages are - because the messages usually tell us exactly what the issue is (even if you don't understand the message), which makes things easier for us.

In this case I can see that you are using the keyword Set when you shouldn't, because you are trying to use a standard data type (String) rather than an Object.


By the way, most of those variations you showed will do noticeably different things ("" is the same as CStr(""), and " " is only the same as CStr(" "), but everything else is different).
