VBA Line Continuation example

[Beakerboy]

An example file was added by @SSlinky some time ago. It contains a few With statements that include line continuation. I've tested some similar statements and they fail in MS VBA 7.1:
If i create a module that contains a function:

Function foo(B As Range)
    With B _
        .ID = "2"
    End With
    foo = B.ID
End Function

I receive an error: "With object must be user-defined type, Object, or Variant"

There is the same error for:

Function foo(B As Range)
    With B. _
        ID = "2"
    End With
    foo = B.ID
End Function

Both of these examples are listed in example7linecontinuation.bas, and I feel they should be removed. Is there a way to specify a file as containing counter-examples, and must fail?

I propose replacing it with something like:

Function _
foo( _
B _
    As _
    Range _
    )
    With _
    B
        .ID _
        = _
        "2"
    End _
        With
    foo = B. _
        ID
End _
    Function

I know this has been closed, but for completeness, neither of those examples are in the file. Only the With opening and closing blocks are included, e.g.:

With A _
    .B
End With

Is equivalent to:

With A.B
End With

The ID property, and assigning values to it, were not part of the examples.

I know, that’s why I closed it. I was messing around with all kinds of variations of line continuation and line breaks and mixed up some of my comparisons.

in case you’re interested, I’ve remade the grammar to match the VBA 7.1 specification. I’ve found a bunch of bugs in the official spec, and there are some whitespace bugs in my file still, so it’s a work in progress. Check it out and let me know if you have any advice.
