large string in vba

Patrick

Hi,
I try to use a large string in vba code
The string hold a "where" statement for a query.
The maximum charaters I can put into it is 251,
but the help file says the string datatype can hold up to 2^32 characters,

Somebody know what I'm doing wrong ?

Regards,
Patrick

You probably have to break the string into several substrings, using the _ char. Each substring should not contain more than 251 characters. Like this

str = str1 &
str2 &
str
