While I fully understand why different programming languages use different syntax, wouldn’t it be nice if they could at least agree on a comment structure?
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve typed something like this into the VBA studio:
-- Make sure to declare the recordset
Code Here
/*
Comments here
*/
And of course it fails because VBA uses the single apostrophe to make comments.
Is it really too much to ask for that the Microsoft languages share the same comment structure?
I agree! It is like SUBSTR and SUBSTRING, I also type the wrong one for the language I am dealing with.
msgbox and messagebox is the same thing.
