I would like to know if there is a way the you can consolidate your code that is grouped together, so that you can collapse it, for easy viewing.
 
I have only used one thing that I know of is the Function command or what ever you call it.
 
So that you have the plus or minus, just like windows explorer, you can expand or collapse directories.
 
Thanks,
 
-Mike

Status: offline 		So the Function used like this, is the editor and not vbscript?

Function GetCustomDate
  GetCustomDate = Right("00" & Month(Now()), 2) & _
                  Right("00" & Day(Now()), 2) & _
                  Right("00" & Year(Now()), 2)
End Function

So the top function has a plus sign to the left and you can collapse it if you wanted to just see:

Function GetCustomDate

Does this make sense?

Thanks,

Mike

Thanks,

Mike

Status: offline 		Keep the display of the code and the functional structure of the code seperate. Breaking your code up into functions can be a great thing if it is done well and done in a programtically safe and correct way. Just going through and adding Function/End Function lines indiscriminantly will break your code in a heart beat.

That little + sign that primal puts in refers to what primal calls "Code Regions". Primal creates code regions by default for Functions and Subs in VBScript. YOu can highlight a portion of the code and define your own code region as well. Just highlight the part of code that you want to be able to contract/expand then click the "Create Region" button on the toolbar.

Status: offline 		Thanks for the excellent explaination. You must have ESP, because that what I was going to do. But I wanted to check with the experts.

Thanks for the awesome tip on regions, I did not even know of this feature.

Take Care.

Thanks Again.

Mike
