Trying to Explain to Pike about Posting BB Code Genarator VBA Codes in Forum Posts
Hi Pike, :confused:
I really do appreciate you taking the time to reply and give all of that info. It sounds very intersting. Thanks :) . Sadly , I am a computer novice, and do not really understand. I get only the general point. It certainly sounds like the code snippet you gave could come in handy to further improve your great BB Code Genarator Code. Sadly I lack the ability to incorporate that in your code. I lack the basic understanding. I do not really understand what you are talking about.......

...... No That was not anything like my question ( i think :confused: ). You have given some fantasic answers but have completely missed my point. Sorry if i have explained so badly.....
I try again:
I did some more tests for you, just now to try to get accross what I am talking about. Once again: It is all to do with how to share your code in a Forum - that is to say what Code Tags to use. Your BB Code Genarator Code is a VBA Code, so normally we would use the normal BB Code Tags ( from icon # above ).....
But....

(_.. -2) Very occaisionally, ( and not often anymore ), there were also some additional problems when using a HTML window to post your BB Code Genarator Code. I gave a couple of work arounds to that. (Note that this post is from a few Month's ago and there were some updates in Forum Software in the maentime, effecting Code Windows, such as the scroll bar which suddenly appeared in many Forums that did not have it:

What you are talkng about does sound very interseting and useful. But it is something completely different. ( i think:confused: )
If you check out those tests I just did for you, then I think it should be obvious what I was getting at...
I am so very greatful that you take the time to give me such great ( unfortunately above my head partly ) info. So sorry it is not relavent to what I was trying to get across. Hope those extra tests will help.

**P.s. I note that in some of your referrences, for example
Convert Excel range to BBCode Table - Page 2
then in the code window you are using there, "VB:" , you do not experience the problems that I have been referring to. But as I have endeavoured to explain, you will get problems at MrExcel, ExcelFox, and ExcelForum if you attempt to post your VBA BBcode generator in normal BB Code Tags. It would appear that at Ozgrid your "normal" Code Window is different to that at MrExcel ExcelForum and ExcelFox. I have no account at, or experience with, Ozgrid Forum

P.P.s
Since the last time we spoke last January generally about BB Code Generators, the Theme came up a bit in some Threads.. may be just of passing interest...
