append string

[damasterjo]

how can i add a "\" at the end of a string?

[LaVolpe]

string = string & "\"
To test if it is already there? If Right$(string, 1)="\" then it's there already

[damasterjo]

for some reason it isnt working?

[damasterjo]

are there some strings you just cant change?

Fixed length strings are one; also, if there is a vbNullChar (= Chr$(0)) in the string and you try to put it in a control the string will be cut, null characters are not allowed in most controls.


There can also be fixed length strings declared as Dim strMyString As String * 200

Constants can't be changed:
Const myString As String = "asfasdf"

Fixed length strings can be changed but can't be made longer
Dim myString As String * 10 ' 10 characters only
myString = "1234567890\" will only be "1234567890"

You might want to post the line of code that is giving you problems and how it was declared, i.e., the DIM statement for that string.
