How to change line within one statement?

Hello, all.

I am new to VBA and have a simple question.
How to change line in VBA
The code looks like this:

Private Sub SLICC_MALIGNANCY_AfterUpdate()
Me!TOTALSCORE = Me!item1+Me!item2+......+Me!item200
End Sub

I want to add up many values. But they are too long to be shown in one line. How can I change line while maintain the statement

Thank you vary much!

Hi Qian,

Try using the Eval() function, example....

Private Sub SLICC_MALIGNANCY_AfterUpdate()

Dim TotalScore as Integer

For n = 1 to 200

TotalScore = TotalScore + Eval("Me!item" & n)

If you need to "split" a line of VBA code, type a space after one of the
plus signs, then type an underscore, then press Enter. like this:

Me!TOTALSCORE = Me!item1+Me!item2+ _
+Me!item200

Hello Qian,

Are you using Excel,

Where are you getting Me!Item1, is it a cell reference ; in which case how about the SUM function.

Post some more information and I'm sure there is a way.

Hello, all,
Thank you very much for your reply! Actually I want to know how to break the limit of the length of one line in VBA.
I am using MS Access. Me!item is the name of my fields. :)
Now I know how to do it. Thank you all!
