string problem

[danab]

How do I give a string varable a value that contains parenthasis ?
for example:

dim str as string
str= "the man said "hello" "
(this gives a compile error).
Thanks.

sString = "The Man Said, " & Chr(34) & "Hello" & Chr(34)

I think you mean quotes instead of parenthesis...Here's another way...

Option Explicit

Private Sub Form_Load()

    Dim TestString As String
    
    Me.Show
    
    TestString = "He said ""Hello"""
    
    Print TestString
    
End Sub

Hope that helps.
